vocab 1

experimental probability
Comparing two quantities using division
ratio
An organized method to solve problems which leads to writing equations to represent word problems.
5-D process
A diagram useful for representing outcomes of compound probability.
probability tree
An outcome that depends on two or more events.
compound event

theoretical probability
numbers that are in order without skipping a number
consecutive integers
Divide into equal parts
partition
scalene triangle
Using an area model/diagram to represent the chance of outcomes of two events.
probability table
two comparisons that have equal value when simplified.
equivalent ratios
A similar experiment that has the same probabilities as the original experiment.
simulation
When the outcome of one event affects the probability of the other event.
dependent event
Two events that have no outcomes in common.
mutually exclusive
When the outcome does not affect the probability of another event.
independent event
A number that represents how likely an event is to happen
probability
A symbol used to represent one or more numbers.
variable
Created by following an organized process
systematic list
