Examples of Sample Spaces

Throwing a $6$-Sided Die

Let $\EE$ be the experiment of throwing a standard $6$-sided die.

The sample space of $\EE$ is $\Omega = \set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}$.

Throwing Two $6$-Sided Dice

Let $\EE$ be the experiment of throwing two standard $6$-sided dice and adding the numbers.

The sample space of $\EE$ is $\Omega = \set {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}$.
