Answer to Question #280177 in Statistics and Probability for Sana

Question

Describe the sample space of Record the weights of 10-day-old rats

Answer 1

Let the weight of rats is weighed in ounces.

As we know the weight is non-negative quantity. And if we consider a 10-day-old rat cannot weigh more than 100 ounces than the sample space is $S=(0, 100].$

If we consider a 10-day-old rat can put any weight then the sample space is

$S=(0, \infin).$
