Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The result of a single trial of a probability experiment.
A
outcome
B
event
C
sample space
D
income
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment, whereas an event is one or more outcomes (a set of outcomes) of an experiment. Both an outcome and an event form a subset of the sample space.

Detailed explanation-2: -The result of a single trial in a probability experiment is an outcome. An event is any collection of results of outcomes of a procedure. A simple event is an outcome or an event that cannot be further broken down into simpler components. The sample space for a procedure consists of all possible simple events.

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: -A result of an experiment is called an outcome. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is B Outcome. An activity with well-defined set of possible outcomes is called an experiment. The result of a trial is known as an outcome. For example, in the process of tossing a coin, there are two possible outcomes. Either a head would come or a tail would come.
