Question

An experiment consists of selecting three items from a box of several items. The three items are
classified defective (D) or non defective (N) as they are selected. Give the sample space for this
experiment: A, B, and C, where A is exactly one defective.

Definition Definition For any random event or experiment, the set that is formed with all the possible outcomes is called a sample space. When any random event takes place that has multiple outcomes, the possible outcomes are grouped together in a set. The sample space can be anything, from a set of vectors to real numbers.
