There's a table that shows a result of a survey to find what type of breakfast students preferred. Each student could only select one choice.
Breakfast: eggs, cereal, toast
Students: 10, 2, 8
Is the sample space 20?

No, the sample space is not 20. The sample space is the total number of possible outcomes in the survey, which in this case is the total number of students. The sample space in this survey would be 10 (students who prefer eggs) + 2 (students who prefer cereal) + 8 (students who prefer toast) = 20.
Are you sure
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
The sample space in this survey should actually be the total number of students who participated, which is 10 + 2 + 8 = 20. So in this case, the sample space is indeed 20. Thank you for pointing out the error.
