In each of the following experiments specify appropriate sample space A person is noting down the number of accidents along a busy highway during a year.
In each of the following experiments specify appropriate sample space A person is noting down the number of accidents along a busy highway during a year.
The number of accidents along a busy highway during the year of observation can be either $0$ (for no accident) or $1$ or $2,$ or some other positive integer. Thus, a sample space associated with this experiment is $S =\{0,1,2, \ldots\}$
