The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes. |
For example, when flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads H or tails T. There are no other options. Therefore, we can write the sample space. {H, T} Consequently the outcomes cannot fall outside of the sample space, so the statement is never true.
