| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| complementary event | two events in Wich either one or the other must happen but they cannot happen at the same time the sum of probability of an event and its complement is 1 or 100% |
| compound event | an event consisting of two more simple events |
| event | the desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probaility expermiment |
| experimental probability | an estimated probilitiy based on the relative frequency of posittive outcomes occuring during an experiment it is based on what actually occured during such an experiment |
| likelihood | the chance of an event ocurring |
| outcome | any one of the possible results of an action for example 4 is an outcome when a number cube is rolled |
| probability | the chance that some event will happen it is ratio of the number of favorbale outcomes to the number of possible outcomes |
| probability experiment | when you perform 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 graph | a graph used to organize ocurrences compared to a total |
| relative frequency table | a table used to orgianze ocurrences compared to a total |
| sample space | the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment |
| simple event | one outcome or collection of outcomes |
| simulation | an experment 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 shouod 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 possbile outcomes in the sample space it is based on what shouold happen when conducting a porbability experiment |
| tree diagram | a diagram used to show the sample space |
| uniform probability model | a probability model wich assgns equal probability to all outcomes |
