Sample Space Diagrams PDF

1. The document discusses sample space diagrams for outcomes when rolling dice or spinning spinners. It provides examples of sample space diagrams for rolling 2 dice where the scores are added or not added, and finding the difference between the scores. 2. Questions are provided about calculating probabilities of various outcomes occurring based on the sample space diagrams, such as doubles, evens, or scores within a certain range. 3. Creating and analyzing sample space diagrams can help determine probabilities of events occurring when rolling or spinning multiple random objects.
