From the linked Wikipedia-article: "In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned."

I believe this formulation is clearer than previous.

It is hard to get this right, because different readers will have different associations with each vocabulary word. But I agree that your suggestion is an improvement.
