The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to define the term that describes the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Experiment**: - An experiment in probability refers to any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes. 2. **Identifying Outcomes**: - For example, if we consider a simple experiment like tossing a coin, the possible outcomes are either "Head" (H) or "Tail" (T). 3. **Multiple Outcomes**: - If we extend this to tossing two coins, the possible outcomes would be: - HH (both coins show heads) - HT (first coin shows heads, second shows tails) - TH (first coin shows tails, second shows heads) - TT (both coins show tails) 4. **Defining the Set of Outcomes**: - The collection of all these possible outcomes from an experiment is what we refer to as a "sample space." 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "Set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called its" is "sample space." ### Final Answer: The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called its **sample space**. ---

Read the following passage and answer the question The results of a random experiment is known as an outcome. The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called the sample space. It is denoted by S. The outcomes satisfying particular condition are called favourable outcomes. A set of favourable outcomes is called an event. Event is a subset of the sample space. There are different types of events. (a) An event consisting of only one sample point is called an ememtntary event.
