A chance experiment is an experiment where 1) The result is not predetermined 2) The result is predetermine 3) The result is either zero or one,
such as 1) Getting tails when flipping a coin 2) Selecting a card from a deck to see what suit you get 3) Deciding which cereal to buy at the store.
An outcome is 1) The result of one instance of an experiment 2) The probability of one result of an experiment 3) The conclusion drawn about an experiment 4) A type of chance experiment.
The sample space for an experiment is the 1) Population from which the sample is chosen 2) Combination of any number of outcomes 3) Sample of participants used to run the experiment 4) Set of all potential results of the experiment.
A. A chance experiment is an experiment where the result is not predetermined.
Such experiments are unbaised experiment. Therefore the correct option is option 1.
B. Such as selecting a card from a deck to see what suit you get.
In the example of getting tail when flipping a coin , the result is predetermined. In the example of deciding which cereal to buy at the store , you select a cereal according to your wish.
Therefore the correct option is option 2.
C. An outcome is the result of one instance of an experiment.
An outcome is not a probability or a conclusion or a type of chance experiment .
Therefore the correct option is option 1.
D. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all potential results of the experiment.
This is not a combination of any number of outcomes it must contain all possible outcomes.
This is not a population from which we choose a sample.
Therefore the correct option is option 4.
