Mapping All Possibilities
When you play a board game and roll two dice, how many different combinations can you get? When you flip three coins, what are all the possible outcomes? Understanding sample spaces helps us systematically list all possible outcomes before calculating probabilities.
Sample spaces are like creating a complete map of all possibilities - ensuring we don't miss any outcomes when solving probability problems.
