Unit 7: Probability, Fundamental Counting Principle, Independent/dependent event

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Complementary Event   Two events in which either outcome must happen, but cannot happen at the same time; sum of the probability and its complement is 100%  
🗑
Compound Event   Two or more independent events considered together  
🗑
Counting Principle   If event M has "m" possible outcomes and event N has "n" possible outcomes, then event M followed by event N has (m*n) possible outcomes  
🗑
Dependent Event   When the outcome of one event depends on the outcome of another  
🗑
Experimental Probability   What actually happens when conducting a probability event  
🗑
Independent Event   When the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of other events  
🗑
Outcome   A possible result in an experiment; the way an event turns out  
🗑
Permutation   An arrangement or listing of objects in which order is important  
🗑
Probability   The chance that a particular outcome will occur, measured as a ratio of the total possible outcomes  
🗑
Sample Space   The set of all possible outcomes of a random process  
🗑
Simulation   Carrying out a simple experiment to collect data  
🗑
Simple Event   An event that consists of exactly one outcome  
🗑
Theoretical Probability   What should happen when conducting a probability experiment  
🗑
Tree Diagram   A diagram shaped like a tree used to display sample space by using one branch for each possible outcome  
🗑
Uniform Probability Model   each outcome has an equal probability of happening  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
