S={R, A, N}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three letters in a word RAN i. e. R, A and N. The sample space consists of all possible outcomes of an experiment. So, the sample for selecting a letter from word RAN will be

Sample Space=S={R, A, N}

As, there are three possible letters that can be selected n (S) = 3

Thus, the required sample in the set notation is

S={R, A, N}.
