Question

What is Simple or Elementary Event?

Answer 1

Simple or Elementary Event : If there be only one element of the sample space in the set representing an event, then this event is called a simple or elementary event, i.e., if we throw a dice, then sample space $S=\{1,2,3,4$, $5,6\}$. Now the event of 2 appearing on the dice is simple and is given by $E=\{2\}$
