Single-step and multi-step experiments

A distinction is made between single-step and multi-step experiments.

Single-step experiments

!

Remember

Experiments that are only carried out once are called single-step experiments.

Examples

Examples of single-step experiments are:

  • The one-time spinning of a wheel of fortune
  • A random selection of a number from 0 to 9

Multi-step experiments

!

Remember

Experiments that are carried out several times or consist of several individual experiments are called multi-step experiments.

Examples

Examples of multi-step experiments are:

  • Throwing a dice several times in a row
  • Drawing 5 numbers from a lottery wheel
