| Event | The desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probability experiment. |
| Experimental Probability | An estimated probability based on the relative frequency of positive outcomes during an experiment. It is based on what ACTUALLY occurred during such an experiment. |
| Theoretical Probability | The ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes in the sample space. It is based on what SHOULD happen when conducting a probability experiment. |
| Likelihood | The chance of an event happening. |
| Relative Frequency | A ratio that compares the frequency of each category to the total. |
| Relative Frequency Bar Graph | A bar graph showing the relative frequency of an experiment. |
| Relative Frequency Table | A list of the relative frequencies in an experiment. |
| Uniform Probability Model | A probability model which assigns equal probability to all outcomes. |
