# The probability function would then map each event to the number of outcomes in that event divided by 6 - so for example, would be mapped to , and would be mapped to .

When an experiment is conducted, it results in exactly one outcome from the sample space . All the events in the event space that contain the selected outcome are said to "have occurred". The probability function must be so defined that if the experiment were repeated arbitrarily many times, the number of occurrences of each event as a fraction of the total number
