Chapter 10 Flashcards
The set of all
outcomes that are not the event.
Complement
An event
made up of two or more simple
events.
Compound event
Events for
which the outcome of one event
affects the probability of the
second event.
Dependent Events
Outcomes that
have the same probability.
Equally Likey
An outcome or set of
outcomes of an experiment or
situation.
Event
In probability, any
activity based on chance, such as
tossing a coin.
Experiment
The ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials, or times that the activity is performed.
Experimental Probability
The product of all
whole numbers except zero that
are less than or equal to a
number.
Factorial
When all outcomes of an
experiment are equally likely.
Fair
If one event has m possible outcomes and a second event has n possible outcomes after the first event has occurred, then there are m n total possible outcomes for the two events.
Fundamental counting principal
Events for
which the outcome of one event
does not affect the probability of
the other.
Independent events
A possible result of a
probability experiment.
Outcome
An arrangement of
items or events in which order is
important.
Permutation
Something you can
reasonably expect to happen in
the future.
Prediction
A number from 0 to 1
(or 0% to 100%) that describes
how likely an event is to occur.
Probability
All possible
outcomes of an experiment.
Sample Space
An event
consisting of only one outcome.
Simple event
The ratio
of the number of ways an event
can occur to the total number of
equally likely outcomes.
Theoretical probability
Each repetition or
observation of an experiment.
Trial
An arrangement
of items or events in which order
does not matter.
Combination
