Simple Events and Outcomes
When something happens, we call it an event.
The things that can happen are called outcomes.
For example:
- Flipping a coin is an event.
- Getting heads or tails are the outcomes.
Some events have only a few outcomes:
- A coin has 2 outcomes: heads or tails.
- A die has 6 outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
- Picking a color block can have many outcomes.
All outcomes have the same chance to happen.
This is called probability.
Remember: Each outcome has an equal chance!
