Two events cannot occur in the same trial of an experiment. (also called disjoint events)
What is mutually exclusive?
200
A probability of 0 that an event will occur.
What is impossible?
200
The set of all possible outcomes.
What is a sample space?
200
A set where each number has the same probability of occurring, and no pattern can be used to predict the next number.
What are random numbers?
200
If ther are "m" ways to choose a first item and "n" ways to choose a second item after the first item has been chosen, then ther are mxn ways to choose all the items.
What is the Fundamental Counting Principle?
300
Each result of an experiment.
What is an outcome?
300
Made up of two or more separate events.
What are compound events?
300
Any set of one or more outcomes.
What is an event?
300
Outcomes that have the same probability of occurring.
What is equally likely?
300
If on group contains "m" objects and a second group contains "n" objects, and teh groups have no objects in common, then there are
m+n total objects to choose from.
What is the Addition Counting Principle?
400
A probability of 1 that the event will occur.
What is certain?
400
A type of probability used to estimate probabilities by making certain assumptions about an experiment.
What is Theoretical Probability?
400
A number form 0 (or 0%) to 1 or (100%) that tells you how likely the event is to happen.
What is probability?
400
The ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes.
What are odds in favor?
400
A number is the product of all of the whole numbers from the number down to 1.
What is a factorial?
500
The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of another event.
What are dependent events?
500
The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other.
What are independent events?
500
The likelikhood of an event is estimated by repeating an experiment many times and observing the number of times the event happens.
What is experimental probability?
500
The ratio of unfavorable outcomes to favorable outcomes.
