- A. experiment
- B. space
- C. sample
- D. event
Step-by-step solution
The act of choosing a marble from a jar and tossing a coin is a procedure that can be repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, which defines an experiment in probability. An experiment is any action or process that generates a set of outcomes. While sample space, sample, and event are related concepts, the overall action itself is the experiment.
