Term
Definition
show the chances of something to occur in all possible subjective options and ways it can, doesnt neccesarily gaurantee much.  
🗑
random process   show
🗑
probability   show
🗑
show says that if we observe more and more trials of any random process, the proportion of times that a specific outcome occurs approaches its probability.  
🗑
show imitates a random process in such a way that simulated outcomes are consistent with real-world outcomes.  
🗑
event   show
🗑
complement rule   show
🗑
Venn diagram   show
🗑
show The probability that one event happens given that another event is known to have happened is called a conditional probability. The conditional probability that event A happens given that event B has happened is denoted by 𝑃(A|B).  
🗑
show if knowing whether or not one event has occurred does not change the probability that the other event will happen.  
🗑
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)  
🗑
show shows the sample space of a random process involving multiple stages. The probability of each outcome is shown on the corresponding branch of the tree. All probabilities after the first stage are conditional probabilities.  
🗑
random variable   show
🗑
probability distribution   show
🗑
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
🗑
show can take any value in an interval on the number line.  
🗑
Independent random variables   show
🗑
Binomial random variable,   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
show The number of ways to arrange x successes among n trials  
🗑
10% condition   show
🗑
show says that the probability distribution of X is approximately Normal if 𝑛 𝑝 ≥ 10 and 𝑛 ( 1−𝑝 ) ≥10 That is, the expected numbers (counts) of successes and failures are both at least 10.  
🗑


   

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.
