| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| complementary event | two event in which either one must happen but they cannot happen at the same time the sum of a probability and an event and its compliment is 100% |
| compound event | a event composing of two or more simple events |
| event | the desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probability experiment |
| experimental probability | a estimated probability based on the relative frequency of positive outcomes in a event it is based on what actually occurred during such an experiment |
| likelyhood | the chance of an event occuring |
| outcome | any one of the possible results of an action for an example 4 is a outcome of a dice roll |
| probability | the chance that 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 experiment 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 organise 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 occur to the number of possible outcomes in the sample space it is based on what should happen when conducting an experiment |
| theoretical probability of a compound event | the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes sample space it is based on what should happen in a experiment |
| tree diagram | a diagram used to show sample space |
| uniform probability model | a probability model which assigns equal probability to all outcomes |
