The two are similar, but not quite the same. 'to miss' basically means to fail to hit (e.g. a target), be too late for something (e.g. a train), or be late (e.g. for a meeting). To 'miss out' generally means not to get something you were hoping for. For instance, at school you are really hoping to be chosen for the school football team, but the coach chooses another student. You are disappointed of course, because you 'missed out'. I hope that makes things clearer
