Practice This ConceptMain explanation
Teacher explanation
A standard die has six faces marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So the sample space for one throw is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. This is one of the most basic sample spaces in Class 10 probability and is used again and again in exam questions.
Example
For one die throw, the sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Simple analogy
A die has six faces, so the sample space has six numbers.
Common confusion
Students sometimes include 0 or forget one face when writing the sample space.
Exam tip
For a single die, always write all six faces before starting any probability calculation.
