| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| complementary event | two events in which either one or the other must happen, but they cannot happen at the same time. |
| compound event | an event consisting of two or more simple events |
| 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 occurring during an experiment. |
| likelihood | the chance of an event occurring |
| outcome | any one of the possible results of an action |
| probability | the chance of some event will happen. it is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes |
| probability experiment | when you preform an event to find the likelihood of an event |
| relative frequency | a ratio that compares the frequency of each category to the total |
| relative frequency bar graph | a graph used to organize occurrences compared to a total |
| relative frequency table | a table used to organized occurrences compared to a total |
| sample space | the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment |
| simple event | one outcome or a collection of outcomes |
| simulation | an experiment that is designed to model the action in a given situation |
| theoretical probability | the ratio of the number of ways an event can occurs to the number of possible outcomes in the sample space. It is based on what should happen when conducting a probability experiment. |
| theoretical probability of a compound event | the ratio for 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 |
| tree diagram | a diagram used to show the sample space |
| uniform probability model | a probability model which assigns equal probability to all outcomes |
