Question

1. which of these are true about simple events?

a. it can be calculated by multiplying probabilities
b. it involves adjustment
c. it has only one outcome
d. it includes scenarios like rolling two dice

Explanation:

A simple event is an event that has only one outcome. For example, when flipping a coin, getting heads is a simple event (one outcome).

• Option a: Multiplying probabilities is for compound events (e.g., probability of two independent events happening together), not simple events.
• Option b: Adjustment is not a characteristic of simple events.
• Option d: Rolling two dice has multiple possible outcomes (e.g., (1,1), (1,2) etc.), so it is a compound event.

Answer:

C. It has only one outcome
