Question

What does the Probability of the Sample Space axiom state?
Options
A The probability of the sample space is always 0.
B The probability of the sample space is 1, representing certainty.
Correct Answer
C The probability of the sample space is equal to the sum of probabilities of all disjoint events.
D The probability of the sample space is equal to the average of all event probabilities.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Slide 7 lists the second axiom as 'Probability of the Sample Space: P(S) = 1.' This implies that one of the possible outcomes in the sample space is guaranteed to occur.

Hint

This axiom ensures that something from the experiment must happen, and it covers all possibilities.
