The sample space is {m, a, t, h, e, i, c, s} which, curiously, is also the sample space for choosing a letter from my user name!
An event is a collection of results or outcomes from some procedure or experiment. For example, if I toss a coin twice, {h, t} is an event. If an event cannot be broken down into smaller or simpler components, it is called a simple event. For example, the event of 2 heads and one tail is not a simple event. It can be hht, hth etc. Each of those, however, is a simple event. The sample space is made up of all possible simple events.
A sample space diagram is usually a Venn diagram with the event(s). See the related link.
