Elementary Random Experiment

An Elementary Random Experiment is a random experiment that is an elementary experiment (which cannot be divided into two or more random experiments).

• AKA: Simple Random Experiment.
• Context:
  • It has Elementary Random Experiment Outcomes.
  • It can be a member of a Random Experiment Process.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • a Binomial Trial, such a Coin Toss.
  • a Multinomial Trial, such a Dice Roll Experiment with a Biased Dice.
    • a k-Sided Coin Toss Trial with faces: {1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3}
  • a Simple Lifetime Experiment of Lifetime of a lightbulb.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Binomial Stochastic Process, such as counting the number of heads after two coin tosses.
  • a Multinomial Process, such as counting the number of Aces after five single-deck card draws.
  • a Complex System composed of many Dependent Component Lifetimes.
