Choosing the Sample Space - Choose the list that shows all of the possible outcomes

Sep 30, 2026

Choosing the Sample Space provides multiple-choice items that practice listing all possible outcomes from simple probability experiments. Students consider combinations of flipping a coin (H/T) with spinning spinners labeled with letters or numbered ranges. Each question asks for the option that contains exactly the complete outcome set for the described trial. Answer-key versions indicate the correct choices for each numbered problem.
