Possible results of a random experiment.

The correct answer is B. Elementary Outcomes. Elementary Outcomes are the possible results of a random experiment - each individual, indivisible result that can occur when the experiment is performed (e.g., rolling a die yields outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}). Why the others are wrong: A. Standard Deviation - a measure of data

Explanation

Elementary Outcomes are the possible results of a random experiment - each individual, indivisible result that can occur when the experiment is performed (e.g., rolling a die yields outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}).

Why the others are wrong:

A. Standard Deviation - a measure of data spread/variability, not a result of an experiment
C. Discrete Data - a type of data (countable values), not what we call individual experimental results
D. Sample Size - the number of observations collected, not the possible results themselves

Memory tip: Think "elementary" as in elementary school - the most basic, simplest building blocks. Elementary Outcomes are the most basic, irreducible results an experiment can produce.
