| 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 even consisting of two or more simple events. |
| event | The desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probability experiment. |
| likelihood | The chance of an event occurring. |
| outcome | Any one of the possible results of an action. |
| probability | The chance that some event will happen will happen. It is a 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 organize 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 an outcome. |
| 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 occur 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 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. |
| tree diagram | A diagram used to show the sample space. |
| uniform probability model | A probability model which assigns equal probability to all outcomes. |
| Experimental probability | An estimated probability based on the relative frequency of positive outcomes occurring during an experiment. It is based on what actually occurred during such an experiment. |
| Probability Model | A model used to assign probabilities to outcomes of a chance process by examining the nature of the process. |
| Random | Outcomes occur at random if each outcome occurs by chance. |
