A.
{A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3, C4}

B.
{A1, A4, B1, B4, C3, C2}

C.
{A1, B2, C3}

D.
{A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3}

Answer 1

The sample space is basically a list of all of the possible outcomes you could ever get.

Answer 2

it's A, B , C or D?

Answer 3

I meant for the experiment, not for the question itself. :)

For the spinner experiment they show everything as a combination of the two results. For example if you spin a B on the first spinner and a 2 on the second spinner they write that as B2.

So you just have to think through what the list of all possible outcomes of spinning both spinners could be. Can you spin an A on the first one and a 1 on the second one? Yes. So A1 is on the list. Can you spin an A on the first one and a 2 on the second one? Yes. So A2 is on the list. And so on...

(Can you spin an A on the first spinner and a 5 on the second? No, there is no 5 on the second spinner. So A5 is NOT in the sample space)

Answer 4
