Probability Flashcards
P(E)
the probability of an event OCCURRING
sample space
the set of all possible outcomes
random
every possible outcome has a chance of occuring
equally likely
each outcome has an equal chance of happening
trial
one go or run of an experiment
event
one or more outcomes
outcome
result
complementary event
events that together make up all possible outcomes
mutually exclusive
venn diagram not possible to connect, two separate circles
overlapping events
not mutually exclusive
And- venn diagrams
both of them occurring together
or- venn diagrams
are mutually exclusive or to have A or B or both
expected frequency
the expected number of times an event will occur on repeated trials
experimental probability
can determine the probability of an event based on the results of a repeated experiment
