Definition

Any subset E of a sample space S is called an event.

Notes

We have studied about random experiment and sample space associated with an experiment. The sample space serves as an universal set for all questions concerned with the experiment. 
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin two times. An associated sample space is S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}. Now suppose that we are interested in those outcomes which correspond to the occurrence of exactly one head. We find that HT and TH are the only elements of S corresponding to the occurrence of this happening (event). These two elements form the set  
E = { HT, TH}.
