It's usually possible to represent the outcome of experiments in terms of a representation involving integers or real numbers.  For instance, in the case of flipping a coin, it becomes a little cumbersome to record the outcomes of multiple experiments.  Let's say we flip a coin four times, and repeat this experiment twice.  We might have gotten the following outcomes from the two experiments.<br>
