What is the sample space for choosing 1 jelly bean at random from a jar containing 5 red, 7 blue, and 2 green jelly beans?
A. {5, 7, 2}
B. {red, blue, green}
C. {5 red, 7 blue, 2 green}
D. {red, blue, orange}
Using the sample space concept, it is found that for this situation, it is given by:
B. {red, blue, green}
------------------------
In a probability experiment, the sample space is the set that contains all possible outcomes.
For example, if you are going to have a child, it will either be a boy or a girl, thus, the sample space is: {boy, girl}
In this question, one jelly bean will be chosen, which will either be red, blue or green. Thus, the possible outcomes are red, blue or green, which means that the sample space is: {red, blue, green}, given by option B.
