Middddd Flashcards
A number between 0 and 1 that indicates the relative chance or likelihood that an event will happen.
Probability
Also referred to as a statistical observation, it is a random process that results in the occurrence of a single outcome among several possible observations or definite occurrences.
Experiment
An experiment’s particular result.
Outcome
A collection of at least one outcome or a set of outcomes of an experiment to which a probability value is assigned.
Event
Conceptual Approaches:
- Objective Probability
- Subjective Probability
The probability an event will occur based on an analysis in which each measure is based on a recorded observation or a long history of collected data.
Objective Probability
The chance of a specific event occurring, given to an individual based on the basis of whatever available information there is.
Subjective Probability
Objective Probability:
- Classical Probability
- Empirical Probability
Based on the assumption that an experiment’s outcomes are equally likely. Outcomes are equally likely if events are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
Classical Probability
Another way to assign probabilities based on the basis of relative frequencies.
