Math Problem Statement

A bag has six balls labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F. One ball will be randomly picked, and its letter will be recorded as the outcome. Give the sample space describing all possible outcomes. Then give all of the outcomes for the event of choosing the letter C.

Solution

Let's analyze and answer the question in the image step by step.

Problem Breakdown:

  1. Sample Space: The bag contains six balls labeled A,B,C,D,E,FA, B, C, D, E, F. The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes when one ball is randomly picked.

    Sample Space = {A,B,C,D,E,F}\{A, B, C, D, E, F\}

  2. Event of choosing the letter CC: This event consists of the outcome where the letter CC is chosen.

    Event of choosing CC = {C}\{C\}

Final Answer:

  • Sample space: {A,B,C,D,E,F}\{A, B, C, D, E, F\}
  • Event of choosing the letter CC: {C}\{C\}
