 EVENT
is a set of some elements or outcomes of an
experiment. It is a subset of a sample space. It
is not necessary to be the actual outcome of
the experiment. Usually denoted as event (E).
Example #1:
Suppose a fair die is
rolled. (a) How many
possible outcome and
(b) sample space will
you get in the event?
(c) List down some
possible events from
the experiment.
Example #1:
Solution:
(a) In rolling a die the result of getting a “1”, a “2”, a
“3”, a “4”, a “5”, or a 6, are the six possible outcomes.

(b) Sample space, S= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(c) Possible events:

1. The dice turned up an odd number = {1, 3, 5}
2. Number turned up is a special number = {1}
3. Number turned up is a prime = {2, 3, 5}
4. Number turned up is multiple of 3 = {3, 6}
5. Number turned up is even = {2, 4, 6}
Example #2:
You will draw a marble
from a jar containing
four marbles of red,
blue, green, and
yellow. How many
possible outcomes,
sample space in the
event? What are some
events can be possibly
drawn?
 Example #2:
Solution:
(a) in drawing marblws, there are 4 possible outcomes
which can be a “red, “green, “blue” or “yellow”.

(b) S = {red, blue, green, yellow}

(c) Possible events

1. Drawn marble is a yellow = {yellow}
2. Drawn marble is not blue = {red, green, yellow}
3. Drawn marble is green or red = {green, red}
4. Drawn marble is a primary color = {red, blue, yellow}
5. Drawn marble is not a primary color = {green}
Example #3: A pair of dice is tossed

Events:
a. The number shown
is 3.

b. The sum is 7

c. A number is less
than 3 is shown on
each of the dice.
Example #3:
Determine the sample space or the total
number of possible outcomes of the
experiment.
There are 36 possible outcomes

S = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),

(1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5),
(2,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5),
(3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5),
(4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5),
(5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5),
(6,6)}
Example #3:
a. The number shown is 3.
A = {(1,3), (2,3), (3,3), (4,3), (5,3), (6,3), (3,1),
(3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)}

b. The sum is 7
B = {(1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)}

c. A number is less than 3 is shown on each

of the dice.
C = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2)}
 Activity 2: “Number Event!”

Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9are

written seperately in a piece of paper.
They are folded and put in a box. One
piece of paper is chosen randomly.
What is the event of getting a
number?
