Chapter 6 Flashcards
5-D process
An organized method to solve problems. The 5 D’s stand for Describe/Draw, Define, Do, Decide, and Declare.
Consecutive Integers
Integers that are in order without skipping any integers. For example, 8 9 10
Complement
Is the set of outcomes in the sample space that are not included in the event
Compound event
An outcome that depends on two or more events
Desired outcomes
The specified or successful of an event in probablility
Dependent events
If the outcome of an event affects the probability of another event
Equivalent Ratios
Ratios that have the same value when simplified
Experimental Probability
The probability based on data collected in experiments.
Independent events
If the the outcome of a probabilistic event does not affect the probability of another event.
Mutually Exclusive
Two events with no outcomes in common
Outcome
Possible result in an experiment or consequences of an action
Partition
Divide into equal parts
Percent
A ratio that compares a number to 100
Possible outcomes
In the context of probability, outcomes with any chance of happening.
Probability
A number between 0 and 1 that represents how likely an event is to happen.
Probability table
An area model or diagram that represents the probabilities of the outcomes for a sequence of two events.
Probability tree
A tree diagram that is useful for representing possible outcomes of probability experiments.
Proportional relationship
Two values in which a proportion may be set up that relates the values
Ratio
Compares two quantities using divsion
Sample space
The collection of all possible outcomes of an event
Scalene triangle
A triangle with no congruent sides
Simplify
To write a less complicates expression with the same value
Simulation
When conducting an experiment with an event that is unrealistic to perform, a simulation can be used
Single event
The probability of one event occurring.
