Identifying Sample Spaces
When you press Enter on the keyboard, a computer program outputs a random odd number greater than 1 and less than 9.
Question 1
What is the sample space for the given situation?
Responses
A {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
B {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
C {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}{1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
D {3, 5, 7}{3, 5, 7}
Question 2
A book club is trying to decide a day and time to meet. They can meet either Monday or Wednesday. The possible times are 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. What is the sample space for this situation?
Responses
A {(M, W), (2, 6)}{(M, W), (2, 6)}
B {(M, 2), (W, 6)}{(M, 2), (W, 6)}
C {(M, 2), (M, 6), (W, 2), (W, 6)}{(M, 2), (M, 6), (W, 2), (W, 6)}
D {(M, 6), (W, 2)}{(M, 6), (W, 2)}
Question 1: C {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Question 2: C {(M, 2), (M, 6), (W, 2), (W, 6)}
