In one of the rooms in my house I have found that one of the two
electrical wall sockets in the pair does not appear to work at all.
Sorry to ask such a beginner's question but what is the best way to
diagnose/fix the problem?

Do you mean one of the two sockets in a double socket outlet? If so then
best thing to do is just replace it

Yes that's it. I wasn't sure if replacing it would do the job. What
could have gone wrong?
