Term
Definition
probability   show
🗑
random process   show
🗑
show generates outcomes that are determined purely by chance.  
🗑
law of large numbers   show
🗑
show imitates a random process in such a way that simulated outcomes are consistent with real-world outcomes.  
🗑
event   show
🗑
show says that 𝑃(A𝐶)=1−𝑃(A, where A𝐶 is the complement of event A; that is, the event that A does not occur.  
🗑
Venn diagram   show
🗑
Conditional probability   show
🗑
independent events   show
🗑
show For any random process, the probability that events A and B both occur can be found using the general multiplication rule: P ( A and B) = P ( A n B) = P(a)x p(b/a)  
🗑
tree diagram   show
🗑
show takes numerical values that describe the outcomes of a random process.  
🗑
show of a random variable gives its possible values and their probabilities.  
🗑
show X takes a fixed set of possible values with gaps between them.  
🗑
show is its average value over many, many trials of the same random process.  
🗑
standard deviation of a discrete random variable   show
🗑
continuous random variable   show
🗑
Independent random variables   show
🗑
show The count of successes X in a binomial setting is a binomial random variable. The possible values of X are 0, 1, 2, …, n.  
🗑
show The probability distribution of X is a binomial distribution. Any binomial distribution is completely specified by two numbers: the number of trials n of the random process and the probability p of success on each trial.  
🗑
Binomial coefficient   show
🗑
show When taking a random sample of size n from a population of size N, we can treat individual observations as independent when performing calculations as long as n<.10 N  
🗑
Large Counts condition   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
