'das Ergebnis' and 'das Endergebnis' both mean a result, for example after a calculation, investigation, election, or game. 'das Ergebnis' is more general and can also be an intermediate result if the context allows it. 'das Endergebnis' emphasizes that everything is finished and nothing will change anymore. Learners may confuse the words because both are often used for results. If you simply want to say neutrally what came out of something, 'Ergebnis' fits. If you want to make clear that it is the final result, 'Endergebnis' is more precise.
