a diagram in which fractions of the area of the diagram cooresponds to probabilities in a situation | area model |
the probability of getting one of two outcomes(heads+tails) | binomial probability |
two or more events that have the same probability of occuring | equally likely |
intuitively the average payoff over the long run | expected value |
a probability that is determined through experimentation | experimental probability |
a game in which each player is equally likely to win | fair game |
this law states,in effect,that as more trials of an experiment are conducted the experimental probability more closely approximates the theoritical probability | Law of large numbers |
a possible result | outcome |
the number of points a player in a game recieves for a paticular outcome | payoff |
a number between 0-1 that describes the likely hood that an outcome will occur | probability |
outcomes that are uncertain when viewd individually,but exhibit a predictable pattern over many trials are random | random |
the set of all possible outcomes in a probability situation | sample space |
a probability obtained by analyzing a situation | theoritical probability |
a diagram used to determine the number of possible outcomes in a probabilty situation | tree diagram |
