OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

The question here is "What is an outcome?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there more to it?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

what does the word "outcome" mean in probability?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it just says this outcome is a possible result of an experiment

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

alright, that's good. So, which of those answers looks like a possible "result" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Well, flipping two coins is certainly something you "do," but it really isn't a "result"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I know now its C because you have to roll a three

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Good. You could say: "Hey, I rolled a dice and I got a three." By saying what you got, you described an outcome. Good job! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job @katieeeeeeee

OpenStudy (anonymous):
