Probablity Review
Term | Definition |
---|---|
population inference | to make a population inference (based on sample information given), write and solve a proportion |
To find percent using a proportion | Write and solve a proportion part/whole = %/100 |
what is the probability of a certain event | 1 |
Probability | likelihood that a particular event will occur, must be between 0 and 1 |
What is the probablity of an impossible event | 0 |
How do you find the probability of an event | numerator= number of ways it can happen denominator= total number of outcomes Probability of a 6 = 1/8 (there is 1 six and 8 total outcomes) |
Independent Probability | Principle that probability of one event occurring has no effect on the probability of the other. |
Dependent Probability | Two events are dependent if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed. |
calculate multiple events probablity | multiply the probalities together- if dependent, subtract out what you have already selected from the second probablity |
counting principle | uses multiplication to find the number of possible ways two or more events can occur multiply the number of choices together |
