Chapter 1-4 Flashcards
Non mutually exclusive
Different events that can happen at the same time (ie pulling a red face card)
Independent event
Events that have no effect on one another
Dependent event
The probability of one event depends on another
Conditional probability
Probability of a second event occurring given that the first event occurred
What are the three types of probability
Theoretical (what should happen), empirical (what does happen), and subjective (what you think will happen)
Permutation
Order of the objects matters
FCP
If an event can happen in one way plus another way and so on. AND
Rule of Sum
OR m+n+p
Probability distribution
Shows all possible outcomes of an experiment
Random variable
X
Discrete variable
Certain values within a given range
Continuous
Measurements
Uniform distribution
All outcomes are equally likely
Binomial distribution
Independent trials whose outcomes are either successful or failure
Hypergeometric distribution
Dependent; either success or failure (n r a)
