The sample space,   straight S subscript 1 space equals space left curly bracket 6 right curly bracket
or 6 on the second draw, the sample space for which is:
                             straight S subscript 2 equals left curly bracket left parenthesis 1 comma 6 right parenthesis comma space left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis comma space left parenthesis 3 comma space 6 right parenthesis comma space left parenthesis 4 comma space 6 right parenthesis comma space left parenthesis 5 comma space 6 right parenthesis right curly bracket
