These are one or more outcomes in an experiment. It is a subset of the sample space.
A
Experiment
B
Event
C
Outcome
D
Sample Space
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a random experiment, the outcomes, also known as sample points, are mutually exclusive (i.e., they cannot occur simultaneously). An event is a subset of the sample space of an experiment (i.e., a set of sample points).

Detailed explanation-2: -The set of all the possible outcomes is called the sample space of the experiment and is usually denoted by S. Any subset E of the sample space S is called an event.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: A probability event can be defined as a set of outcomes of an experiment. In other words, an event in probability is the subset of the respective sample space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Event is called one or more outcomes of an experiment. Example: rolling a dice, we get a possible outcomes as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -A sample space is all of the possible outcomes, which are all of the things that appear on the menu. A subset is an event in the experiment, so any items on that menu could be considered a subset depending on what the person orders!
