Question

What is the difference between an outcome and an event? Choose the correct answer below. A. An event is the result of a single probability experiment. An outcome is the set of all possible events. B. An outcome is the result of a single probability experiment. An event is the set of all possible outcomes. C. An event is the result of a single probability experiment. An outcome is a set of one or more possible events. D. An outcome is the result of a single probability experiment. An event is a set of one or more possible outcomes

Explanation / Answer

The result of a random experiment will be called an outcome, and combination of outcomes will be termed as event, i.e. An Event is a one or more outcome of an experiment.

For example: Whenever we do an experiment like rolling a die, we get an outcome, i.e. if we roll a die we get an outcome of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

An event is a set of outcomes. The event of rolling an even number with a die is the set.

{2, 4, 6}.

Also, We call the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment the sample space, and the sample space for the experiment of rolling a die is

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Therefore the correct Option is Option D:

Answer is Option D)
