Statistic 4

QuestionAnswer
Any collection of results or outcomes of a procedure Event
An outcome or event that can not be further broken down into simpler components Simple event
A procedure consisting of all possible simple events Sample space
Relative frequency Observation of the number of times that event A actually occurs. P(A)= number of times A occurred/number of times the procedure was repeated
Relative frequency example Free throws made/ attempts= next free throw
Law of large numbers Relative frequency: The more observations the better the probability of the outcome
Classical approach to probability Requires equally likely outcomes Assume that a given procedure has "n" different sample events and each of those simple events has an equal chance of occurring. P(A)= # of ways A occur/ # of diff. Simple events
Classical approach of probability example Dye roll: probability of getting a roll of 1? 1/6 chances of getting a 1.
Complement Event A, denoted by A (with a bar on top), consist of all outcomes in which event A doesn't occur
Unlikely vs. Unusual Unlikely: probability is very small (0.05 or less) Unusual: extreme outcomes
Rare event rule If given under the assumption, the probability of a particular observed event is extremely small, we can conclude that the assumption is not correct.
Addition rule notation P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B) "OR" addition Mutually exclusive/disjoint
Inclusive vs. Exclusive Inclusive: one or the other or both Exclusive: one or the other but not both
Compound events Any event combining two or more simple events
Disjoint/Mutually Exclusive Events A and B Cannot occur at the same time. P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B)
Multiplication rule P(A and B)=P(A)P(B) "AND" multiplication
Independent Two events A and B are independent if the occurrence of the one does not effect the other (with replacement)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
