Diagrams used to show relationships between sets
Combination
Selection of group of objects in a non-important order, Number of combinations, r, objects chosen from group of n objects is decorated C
Mutually Exclusive Events
2 events are mutually exclusive if they both cannot occur in the same trial of experiment
Overlapping Events
