Question

Write the sample space for the marks (in integers) scored by a student appearing for an examination of 100 marks and state the number of sample points in it.

Answer 1

A student can get 0 mark or any number of marks in the close interval [1, 100].

So, the sample space for the marks scored by a student appearing for an examination of 100 marks is expressed as follows :

U = {0, 1, 2, 3, ……………, 100}

The number of sample points in the sample space U = 101.
