Well, results is the outcome of something and outcome is the results of something..... So yes they are alike.

The outcome of an experiment is a "conclusion", the interpretation of the results compared with the expected results and the goal of the experiment.

outcome means what is the answer, like in english, the outcome of an event is what happens after the event takes place.
This is just the outcome you are looking for. For example if you have 5 students who like hockey, 2 that like basketball, and 3 that like baseball. You then decide...I want to know if I draw a student's name from a hat, who would like...baseball... then... Favourable outcome / possible outcome. In this case it would be baseball/all sports. 3/10. Hope this helps.
The answer depends on the probability of whatever it is that you are trying to observe and its variability. If the probability of a particular outcome is very high then you will need a lot of trials before you get one where the outcome does not occur. Conversely, a rare event will also require many trials. If there is a lot of random variation in the outcome of the trials, you will need more trials before you can be confident of the accuracy of any estimates.
