Given:

The spinner has 5 equal-sized sections: one yellow (Y), one red (R), one blue (B), one green (G), and one purple (P).

Required:

We need to find the sample space.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample space = the total possible outcomes,

The possible outcomes are one yellow (Y), one red (R), one blue (B), one green (G), and one purple (P).

There are 5 equal-sized sections.


Sample\text{ space =\textbraceleft Y,R,B,G,P\textbraceright}
n(s)=5

Final answer:


Sample\text{ space =\textbraceleft Y,R,B,G,P\textbraceright}
