Probability Terms and Definition
Some of the important probability terms are discussed here:

Term Definition Example

Sample Space The set of all the possible outcomes 1. Tossing a coin, Sample Space
to occur in any trial (S) = {H,T}
2. Rolling a die, Sample Space
(S) = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sample Point It is one of the possible results In a deck of Cards:

 4 of hearts is a sample point.

 The queen of clubs is a
sample point.

Outcome Possible result of a trial/experiment T (tail) is a possible outcome when a

coin is tossed.
