Correct Answer: D. Drawing the two of hearts from a deck of cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In probability, a simple event<\/strong> is defined as an outcome or a single result from a probability experiment that cannot be broken down further. It involves only one outcome<\/strong>. To understand which choice represents a simple event, we need to examine each option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, option D<\/strong> is the correct answer. It best fits the definition of a simple event<\/strong> in probability \u2014 an event with exactly one possible outcome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Points Which of the following describes a simple event? A. Tossing two coins B. Spinning “lose a turn” on a spinner and drawing a club from a deck of cards C. Rolling an even number on a die and spinning red on a spinner D.

\n\n\n\nExplanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
This is not<\/strong> a simple event because it involves two outcomes<\/strong> \u2014 one for each coin (e.g., Heads-Heads, Heads-Tails, etc.). It is a compound event<\/strong>, which is made up of two or more simple events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is clearly a compound event<\/strong>, as it includes two separate actions happening together \u2014 spinning a spinner and drawing a card. Each of these actions has its own set of outcomes, so this is not<\/strong> a simple event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Again, this is a compound event<\/strong>. It involves rolling a die and<\/strong> spinning a spinner. Even though each action might seem simple on its own, the combination makes it a compound<\/strong> event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is a simple event<\/strong>. It describes a single outcome<\/strong> \u2014 drawing a specific card (the two of hearts) from a standard deck of 52 cards. It does not involve any additional action or multiple steps. There is only one result<\/strong> being described.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-664.jpeg\")
