- It can be a member of a Random Event Set.
- It can range from being a Discrete Stochastic Event to being a Continuous Stochastic Event.
- It can range from being a Elementary Stochastic Event Instance to being a Complex Stochastic Event Instance.
- It can range from being an Observable Stochastic Event to being an Unobservable Stochastic Event.
- Example(s):
- a Random Experiment Event, of a random experiment, such as a dice roll event.
- a Stochastic Process Instance.
