Sure (Certain) Event An event that is certain to occur P(E) = 1
Impossible Event An event that cannot occur P(E) = 0
Simple (Elementary) Event An event having only one outcome P(E) = 1 / n(S)
Complementary Event (E̅) An event that occurs when E does not occur P(not E) = 1 − P(E)
Mutually Exclusive Events Two events that cannot occur together P(A ∩ B) = 0
Exhaustive Events Events which together cover all outcomes of S P(A₁) + P(A₂) + … = 1
Equally Likely Events All outcomes have the same chance of occurring P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
General Rule Probability of any event 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1
