Detailed explanation-1: -The sample space S of a random experiment is defined as the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. In a random experiment, the outcomes, also known as sample points, are mutually exclusive (i.e., they cannot occur simultaneously).
Detailed explanation-2: -Any subset of possible outcomes for an experiment is known as an event . When an event is a single element of the sample space, it may be called a simple event .
Detailed explanation-3: -The sample space of a random experiment is the collection of all possible outcomes. An event associated with a random experiment is a subset of the sample space. The probability of any outcome is a number between 0 and 1. The probabilities of all the outcomes add up to 1.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
