• probability model

What is an outcome?

• the result of a single trial of a probability experiment

• a situation involving chance that leads to results

• a list of all possible outcomes of an experiment

• one possible outcome or a group of possible outcomes for a given situation

A measure of likelihood that an event will occur is called

• sample space

• simple event

• outcome

• probability

An event consisting of one outcome is called a

• probability

Events that together contain all of the outcomes in the sample space are called

• equally likely

• simple events

• complementary events

• experiments
