One way to visualize the expected outcome of each outcome in the sample space S = {1,2,3,4,5} is to create a bar graph with each outcome represented by a bar whose height corresponds to the probability of that outcome occurring.
Since each outcome is equally likely to occur, the probability of each outcome is 1/5.
Therefore, in the bar graph, each bar would have a height of 1/5, representing the probability of that outcome occurring. The bars for outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 would all be equal in height, since they all have the same probability.
The graph would look like this:

1/5 | 1/5 | 1/5 | 1/5 | 1/5
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1 2 3 4 5
This bar graph visually represents the expected outcome of each outcome in the sample space S = {1,2,3,4,5} when each outcome is equally likely to occur.
