### Terminologies of Probability
361-
##### (1) Random Experiment

##### (2) Sample Space
363-
##### (3) Event
364-
##### (4) Union of Event
365-
##### (5) Intersection of Event

##### (1) Random Experiment:
362+
An operation which can produce some well-defined outcomes is called an experiment. Each outcome is called an event
363+
364+
For example; throwing a die or tossing a coin etc.
365+
In an experiment where all possible outcomes are known and in advance if the exact outcome cannot be predicted, is called a random experiment.
366+
367+
##### (3) Trial:
368+
By a trial, we mean performing a random experiment.
369+
370+
##### (4) Sample Space
371+
The sample space for a probability experiment is the set of all possible outcomes. This is usually written with set notation (curly brackets). For example, going back to a regular 6-sided die the sample space would be:
372+
373+
S={1,2,3,4,5,6}
374+
375+
##### (5) Event
376+
Out of the total results obtained from a certain experiment, the set of those results which are in favor of a definite result is called the event and it is denoted as E.
377+
378+
#### (6) Equally Likely Events:
379+
380+
When there is no reason to expect the happening of one event in preference to the other, then the events are known equally likely events.
381+
382+
For example; when an unbiased coin is tossed the chances of getting a head or a tail are the same.
383+
384+
#### (7) Exhaustive Events:
385+
386+
All the possible outcomes of the experiments are known as exhaustive events.
387+
388+
For example; in throwing a die there are 6 exhaustive events in a trial.
389+
390+
#### (8) Favorable Events:
391+
392+
The outcomes which make necessary the happening of an event in a trial are called favorable events.
393+
394+
For example; if two dice are thrown, the number of favorable events of getting a sum 5 is four,
395+
396+
i.e., (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2) and (4, 1).
397+
398+
#### (9) Mutually Exclusive Events:
399+
If there be no element common between two or more events, i.e., between two or more subsets of the sample space, then these events are called mutually exclusive events.
400+
401+
If E1 and E2 are two mutually exclusive events, then E1 ∩ E2 = ∅
402+
403+
#### (10) Complementary Event:
404+
An event which consists in the negation of another event is called complementary event of the er event. In case of throwing a die, ‘even face’ and ‘odd face’ are complementary to each other. “Multiple of 3” ant “Not multiple of 3” are complementary events of each other.
405+
406+
##### (11) Union of Event
407+
408+
##### (12) Intersection of Event
