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