16
Q

What is a collection of one or more outcomes of an experiment?

17
Q

A compound event is what?

A

Event that has multiple operations within it

18
Q

What are mutually exclusive events/disjoint?

A

When they cannot occur simultaneously

19
Q

What is the additive law?

A

The probability of two disjoint events occurring is the sum of their probabilities

20
Q

What is the general rule of addition?

A

If two events A and B are not mutually exclusive, then the probability that both occur is the sum of their probabilities, minus in the intersection of the two

21
Q

What is the general rule of multiplication?

A

If we know that an event A has already occurred, the probability that two events A ad B will both occur is equal to the probability of A, times the probability of B, given A.

22
Q

What is the special rule of multiplication?

A

If A and B are independent events, then the probability that both occur is the product of their probabilities
