Math 10 Flashcards
(20 cards)
Complement
The set of all outcome that are not the event
Compound event
An event
made up of two or more simple
Events
Dependent events
Events for
which the outcome of one event
affects the probability of the
Second event
Equally likely
Outcomes that have the same probability
Event
An outcome or set of
outcomes of an experiment or
Situation
Experiment
In probability any activity based on chance, such as tossing a coin
Experimental probability
The ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials, or times that the activity Is performed
Factorial
The product of all
whole numbers except zero that
are less than or equal to a number
Fair
When all outcomes of an
experiment are equally likely, the
experiment is said to be fair.
Fundamental counting principle
If one event has m possible outcomes and a second event has n possible outcomes after the first event has occurred, then there are m n total possible outcomes for the two events.
Independent events
Events for
which the outcome of one event
does not affect the probability of
The other
Combination
An arrangement
of items or events in which order
does not matter.
Outcome
A possible result of a probability experiment
Permutation
An arrangement of
items or events in which order is
Important
Prediction
Something you can reasonably expect to happen in the future
Probability
A number from 0 to 1
(or 0% to 100%) that describes
how likely an event is to occur.
Sample space
All possible outcomes of an experiment
Simple event
An event consisting on only one outcome
Theoretical probability
The ratio
of the number of ways an event
can occur to the total number of
equally likely outcomes.
Trial
Each repetition or observation of an experiment
