Solution

An event obtained by combining two or more elementary events is called a compound event.

A compound event consists of more than one elementary outcome.

For example, when rolling a single die, the event 'getting an even number' corresponds to the subset {2, 4, 6}; since it combines three elementary events, it is a compound event.
