chapter 3.3 compound events

Question 1

disjoint or mutually exclusive

Answer 1

events that cannot occur at the same time for one outcome of an experiment

Question 2

addition rule

Answer 2

states p (a or b) = p (a) +p(b)-p (A and B ) or P(a U B ) = P (a) + p (B)- p (a U B)

where is the probability at least one of the events occur in an outcome and P ( a and b is the probability that both a and b occur at the same time in an outcome

Question 3

conditional probability

Answer 3

is the probability that results after another event has already happened and could effect the new event

Question 4

dependent

Answer 4

if two events affect the occurrence of each other

Question 5

independent

Answer 5

if two cents dont affect the occurenceof each other

Question 6

multiplication rule

Answer 6

the probability of the intersection of events a and b is given

Question 7

probability distribution

Answer 7

a table which lists all outcomes and the probabilities
