Sometimes the sample space is reduced in size and is called reduced sample space. The symbol  may be used for a reduced sample space. Suppose a die has been thrown and we have been informed that the experiment has produced an even face. This type of information is called the additional information. Thus the reduced sample space is determined by the additional information.
            In this example the information has disclosed that even face has occurred. If it becomes known as to which even face has occurred, then it is no more s situation of probability. When the information is that the face is even, then there is still something hidden from the experimenter. The actual outcome is not known to the observer. In this case the reduced sample space is .
