Describe events as subsets of a sample space using unions, intersections, and complements.
List the sample space of a finite experiment
Problem
Write the complete set of possible face values from \(\text{one}~\text{roll}\) of a standard \(\text{six}\text{-}\text{sided}\) die.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
A sample space is a complete, nonrepeating inventory of an experiment’s elementary outcomes. We’ll use the labeled faces of the standard die, record each attainable face value exactly once in set notation, and check the count against the die’s six sides. Completeness and exclusivity together ensure that later events can be defined from this set.
