This diagram covers Sample Space Examples within Sample Spaces for GCSE Mathematics. Revise Sample Spaces in Probability for GCSE Mathematics with 11 exam-style questions and 20 flashcards. This topic appears regularly enough that it should still be part of a steady revision cycle. It is section 3 of 7 in this topic. Focus on the labels, the relationships between parts, and the explanation that turns the diagram into an exam-ready answer.
Sample Space Examples
Single Coin Flip
S = {H, T}
n(S) = 2
Rolling a Die
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
n(S) = 6
Flipping Two Coins
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}
n(S) = 4
Spinner (Red, Blue, Green)
S = {R, B, G}
n(S) = 3
Practice questions for Sample Spaces
A fair coin is flipped and a fair die (numbered 1 to 6) is rolled. How many possible outcomes are there in total?
Explain what a sample space diagram is and why it is useful when finding probabilities for two combined events.
