AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the sample space of a six-sided die with the numbers 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Participants debate whether the sample space should be represented as 1, 2, 3, 4 or 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4. It is clarified that the sample space consists of all possible outcomes without repetitions. Therefore, the correct sample space is 1, 2, 3, 4. This conclusion resolves the argument among classmates.

A six sided dice has the numbers 1,1,1,2,3,4.
What is the sample space?
Is it 1,2,3,4 or 1,1,1,2,3,4?
Could you please explain why?
All of my classmates are arguing about this question.

The "sample space" is the set of all possible outcomes. A set does not have repetitions.
