To determine

The term which representstwo or more simple events.

Answer to Problem 2SGR

The combination of two or more simple events is the compound event.

Explanation of Solution

If there is combination of two or more events that means two or more outcomes then this event is called as compound event.

Note that the numerator of the compound event which is nothing but the number of times that events occurs will be greater than one.

Probability of compound event given by the following expression:

  $P_c=\frac{N_o}{n}$

Where,

Number of times events occurs: $N_o$

Number of possible outcomes: $n$

Conclusion:

Hence,compound event is the term which is best suited for the given statement.
