Question

A student is chosen at random from a large statistics class and asked how much time (in whole hours) she spent studying during the past 24 hours. Describe the sample space S of possible outcomes:

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

The sample space is the total possible values of an experiment or research. Since the total number of hours is 24, then the total possible number (or the limit she can use have) is 24. This she cannot exceed this 24 hour limit. Then we call this the total possible outcome and thus the sample space.
