Homework Statement
A card is drawn at random from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards (which means there are 0 jokers).
Give the sample space.
Homework Equations
A set that consists of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called a sample space, and each possible outcome of the aforementioned random experiment is called a sample point.
The Attempt at a Solution
My confusion:
Is
S = {A




















































the only way to describe the sample space (ignoring order of the elements, since a set with the same exact elements but in a different order are equal), or not?
Is it possible to give another set S_2 that consists of unordered pairs such as what is shown below?:
S_2 = {(A,




















































Assuming everything I said up until now is correct, are A


In short, I want to ask if the set can be a "regular" set with one element at a time, or if it can also be a set of unordered pairs (such as the above set S_2, where the ordering of the pairs and the ordering of the elements in the pairs both do not matter - because that is what it means to be a set with unordered pairs)?
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!
