A possible result of an experiment or game is called an outcome and each combination of outcomes is an event. For instance, if an experiment consists of throwing two dice, the possible outcomes are all the ordered pairs such as (2,3) (6,6) (5,1) and there are 36 altogether. One event, A, might be showing the same number on both dice and event B might be a total score of 9.
