A
outcome
B
sample space
C
probability
D
experiment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A probability is a number that reflects the chance or likelihood that a particular event will occur. Probabilities can be expressed as proportions that range from 0 to 1, and they can also be expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%.

Detailed explanation-2: -The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event. The formula for probability is given by; P(E) = Number of Favourable Outcomes/Number of total outcomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In probability theory, an outcome is a possible result of an experiment or trial. Each possible outcome of a particular experiment is unique, and different outcomes are mutually exclusive (only one outcome will occur on each trial of the experiment).

Detailed explanation-4: -Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning the occurrence of a random event, and four main types of probability exist: classical, empirical, subjective and axiomatic.

Detailed explanation-5: -: something (such as an event or circumstance) that is probable. 3. : the quality or state of being probable. 4. : a logical relation between statements such that evidence confirming one confirms the other to some degree.
