Hi, I am new to this forum.
I was wondering if someone could explain to me what is the difference between the outcome space and the sample space. My teacher gave me the definition but I can't seem to understand what is the difference. He also gave me an example but I need help with it too.
Outcome space is the set of elements that are the possible outcomes for the experiment
Sample space is a set of points for which outcomes can be described.
He also gave me an example: Suppose we bought a bag of apples from a farmer. The outcome space is the set whose elements are the farmer's bags of apples available for our purchase. The sample space is the same as the outcome space. I understand what the outcome space is but why is the sample space the same as the outcome space ? Can someone give me an example when the sample space is different from the outcome space?
