In Exerxises 7 through 10, the sample spaces are too big to write down in full. In these exercises, you should describing a generic outcome or by listing some outcomes and then using the … notation. In the latter case, you should write down enough outcomes to make the description reasonably clear.

A student randomly guesses the answers to a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. The observation is the student’s answer $\left(A,B,C,D,\text{ or }E\right)$ for each question. Describe the sample space.
