Possible Outcomes


1. Let's clarify the problem: You want to know how to write the possible outcomes correctly, which usually refers to listing all possible results of an experiment or event. 2. The formula or rule to remember is that the set of possible outcomes is called the sample space, often denoted as $S$. 3. Important rules: - Each outcome must be distinct and mutually exclusive. - The list should be complete, including all possible outcomes. 4. For example, if you toss a coin, the possible outcomes are $S = \{\text{Heads}, \text{Tails}\}$. 5. If you roll a six-sided die, the possible outcomes are $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$. 6. To write them correctly, use set notation with curly braces and separate outcomes by commas. 7. Always ensure no outcome is repeated and none are missing. This method helps clearly communicate all possible results of an event.
