Question

what is the difference between sample space and state space ?

Answer 1

I have not heard of "state space," so recommend that you look for definitions and answers in your course materials. "sample space" is correct and is very common: It's a collection of all possible choices from a set. E. G., aa, ab, ac, ad, ba, bb, bc, bd, and so on, when you have set {a, b, c, d} from which to choose.

Answer 2

i can't find it in my course tbh , and can't find it on the internet either . i think they both are the same but state space is a terminology used for dynamic systems where sample for static systems but in questions our teacher has asked for drawing both the sample space and state space as if they both are something different

Answer 3

she has asked for state space in markov chain questions, which is used for dynamic systems.

Answer 4

she asked us to google the original def. and gave a rough idea like if we are rolling 2 dices than sample space is 1,2,3,4,5,6 but state space is (1,2) where (x,y){xE first dice, yEoutcome of 2nd dice} but i think this is wrong? as a sample space for two dice is written not as {1,2,3...} but as {(1,1),(1,2).............(6,6)}
