Editing Sample space (section)

== Multiple sample spaces ==
For many experiments, there may be more than one plausible sample space available, depending on what result is of interest to the experimenter. For example, when drawing a card from a standard deck of fifty-two [[playing card]]s, one possibility for the sample space could be the various ranks (Ace through King), while another could be the [[Suit (cards)|suits]] (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades).<ref name="albert" /><ref name="jones">{{cite web |url = https://people.richland.edu/james/lecture/m170/ch05-int.html |title = Stats: Introduction to Probability - Sample Spaces |last=Jones |first=James |year = 1996 |publisher = Richland Community College |access-date = 2013-11-30 }}</ref> A more complete description of outcomes, however, could specify both the denomination and the suit, and a sample space describing each individual card can be constructed as the [[Cartesian product]] of the two sample spaces noted above (this space would contain fifty-two equally likely outcomes). Still other sample spaces are possible, such as right-side up or upside down, if some cards have been flipped when shuffling.
