Question

If we throw a dice, then the sample space, $S=1,2,3,4,5,6$. Now the event of $3$ appearing on the dice is simple and given by

• A. $E=2,3$
• B. $E=1,2,3$
• C. $E=3$
• D. $E=1,3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $E=3$

If we throw a dice, then the sample space, $S=1,2,3,4,5,6$. Now the event of 3 appearing on the dice is simple and given by $E=3$
If there be only one element of the sample space in the set representing an event, then this event is called a simple or elementary event.
