- 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.
