Detailed explanation-1: -A random experiment is repeated many times to determine their likelihood; each repetition is known as a trial. The experiment is conducted to find the chance of an event occurring or not occurring. The random experiment can be tossing a coin, rolling a die, or rotating a spinner.

Detailed explanation-2: -Processes such as flipping a coin, rolling a die, or drawing a card from a deck are called probability experiments. A probability experiment is a chance process that leads to well-defined results called outcomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rolling a six-sided die and flipping a coin: The sample space is 6 • 2 or 12 equally likely outcomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Possible Outcomes – a list of all the resulting possibilities from an event. e.g. When rolling a die – all possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Detailed explanation-5: -The probability of tossing a coin and getting “heads” is 1 in 2.
