  "body": "\n## Summary\n\nA random experiment is a procedure that we can repeat as often as we like and that has a well-defined set of possible results.\nThe set of these results is the [[sample space|0W7NFW23RF]] of the experiment.\nThe experiment is random when it has more than one possible result, and deterministic when it has exactly one.\n\n## Remarks\n\nEach repetition of the experiment is a trial. Each trial gives exactly one [[outcome|0Y5R7TPNT1]].\nA toss of a coin and a roll of a die are random experiments.\n\n## Explanations\n\n### L1 human\n\nA random experiment is an action whose result you cannot predict, but whose possible results you know in advance.\nWhen you roll a die, you do not know the number that you will get, but you know that it is one of $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$.\n",
