Question

Which statement gives the relationship between an event and its sample space?

Options

• Every sample space must contain only one event

• An event is a subset of the sample space

• An event contains every outcome outside the sample space

• An event is a subset only when it is impossible

Answer 1

Every element of an event is an outcome of the given sample space. Thus, if \(S\) is the sample space and \(A\) is an event, then \(A \subseteq S\).
