    • D.

      Experiment

    Correct Answer
    A. Event
    Explanation
    In probability theory, an event refers to the outcome or occurrence of interest within a particular experiment or situation. It can be thought of as a subset of the sample space, which is the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment. For example, consider rolling a six-sided die. The sample space for this experiment consists of the numbers 1 through 6, as these are all the possible outcomes when rolling the die. An event could be defined as rolling a 4, rolling an even number, or rolling a number greater than 3. Each of these events corresponds to a specific subset of the sample space. Events are fundamental to probability theory because they represent the outcomes that we are interested in analyzing or predicting the likelihood of occurring. Probability measures are assigned to events to quantify the likelihood of their occurrence, allowing us to make informed decisions and predictions based on the outcomes of experiments or random processes.
