An event in probability refers to a specific outcome or a set of outcomes from a random experiment. For instance, when rolling a die, the event of rolling an even number includes the outcomes 2, 4, and 6. This collection of outcomes can be singular (like rolling a 3) or grouped (like rolling any number greater than 4). Events are fundamental in probability theory as they help quantify and analyze uncertainty.
If an event has one outcome or a collection of outcomes, it is referred to as a "simple event" if it has just one outcome, or a "compound event" if it consists of multiple outcomes. In probability theory, events are classified based on the number of possible outcomes they encompass. A simple event is a single occurrence, while a compound event combines two or more simple events.
When all outcomes are different from the favorable outcome, it typically refers to a situation where the event of interest does not occur, resulting in a complete failure to achieve the desired result. This scenario is often analyzed in probability, where it highlights the concept of complementary events. Essentially, the favorable outcome is one distinct possibility, while all other outcomes represent the complement of that event. In statistical terms, this situation illustrates a zero probability for the favorable outcome.
Random events are events that do not have a determined outcome. The set of possible outcomes for a random event is always greater than one item.
An event consisting of only one outcome is known as a "simple event." In probability, this means that there is a single, specific result that can occur, such as rolling a three on a six-sided die. Since it has only one outcome, the probability of that event occurring is determined by the total number of possible outcomes, making it straightforward to calculate. For example, the probability of rolling a three is 1 out of 6, or approximately 16.67%.
It is an impossible event - which has probability zero.
It is still an event.

An outcome is the result of a single trial. For example, if I roll a die, one outcome would be a six. An event is a collection of one or more outcomes. Using the example of rolling a die, an event might be rolling two sixes in a row. Thus this event is comprised of two outcomes - rolling and six and rolling another six.

Independent events.

Independence of the events.
The probability of an event is the number of outcomes that are favourable to the outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. For continuous variables, it is the proportion of the outcome space, but the same argument applies.The number of favourable outcomes must be non negative and so the probability has to be greater than or equal to 0. Also, the number of favourable outcomes can, at most, be as large as the total number so the probability must be less than or equal to 1.
It is an impossible event - which has probability zero.
An event that consists of more than one outcome is known as a compound event. For example, rolling two dice results in multiple possible outcomes, such as obtaining a sum of 3 or a sum of 7. Each individual outcome, like rolling a 1 on the first die and a 2 on the second, contributes to the overall event. Such events are often analyzed in probability to understand their likelihood and implications.
