| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| biased | a sample space in which one or more outcomes are favored (not fair) |
| complementary event | the compliment of an event E are all the outcomes in the sample space that are not in event E |
| event | a collection of outcomes from an activity (favorable outcomes make an event happen |
| experimental probability | a probability based on data collected or observations made in an experiment |
| fair | an experiment in which the probability of each outcome is the same |
| mutually exclusive | two events that cannot happen at the same time |
| non-uniform probability model | a probability model in which the outcomes do not necessarily have equal probabilities |
| observed frequency | the number of observations of a data value in an experiment |
| outcomes | all the possible results of an activity |
| probability | a description of how likely an event is to occur |
| probability distribution | a table or a graphical display presenting all the outcomes of the sample space and their probabilities |
| probability model | a model that represents a sample space of outcomes, events, and the probabilities of these outcomes and events |
| relative frequency | the ratio of the observed frequency of a data value to the total number of observations in a chance process |
| sample space | the collection of all possible outcomes from an activity |
| theoretical probability | the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes |
| uniform probability model | a probability model in which all the outcomes have an equal probability of occurring |
| venn diagram | a diagram that uses circles to represent relationships for simple events |
