An event is probability theory is any subset of the /Sample space of possible /Elementary events. For example, if we assemble a deck of 52 playing cards and two jokers, each individual card represents an elementary event in a 54-element sample set, but subsets of the sample set (regardless of how many elementary events they contain) are called simply "events". Events from this sample set include "King" (a set 4 elementary events), "Spade" (13 elementary events), and "Face card" (12 elementary events). |
