TermDefinition
Random Phenomena When we know the possible outcomes, but not which particular values will happen.
Law of Large Numbers Long-run relative frequency of repeated independent events gets closer to the true relative frequency as the number of trials increases.
Theoretical Probability Using knowledge about a situation, some logical reasoning, and/or known formula to model the probability of an event happening.
Empirical Probability The ratio of the number of times A occurs to the total number of trials.
Independent Events where the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of other trials.
Trial A single attempt or realization of a random phenomenon.
Outcome The result of a single trial.
Event The set of outcomes to which a probability is assigned.
Sample Space The collection of all possible outcomes.
Fundamental Counting Theorem If event A has m outcomes and independent event B has n outcomes, then A or B = m + n and A and B = mn.
Equally Likely Condition The outcomes in a sample space, whether listed or counted, are all equally likely to occur.
Permutation The number of ways to arrange any r items from a group of n different items calculated by n!/(n-r)!.
Combination The number of ways to select any r items from a group of n different items calculated by n!/(r!(n-r)!).

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.
