theoretical probability | The likelihood a specific outcome will occur, determined by calculating expected outcomes under ideal circumstances. |
experimental probability | The likelihood a specific outcome will occur, based on repeated testing and observation of results. It is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the number of trials. |
probability | The chance that a particular outcome will occur measured as a ratio of the total possible outcomes. P = [favorable outcomes]/[possible outcomes]. |
unlikely | The outcome will probably NOT happen (probability between 0 and 0.5). |
likelihood | The chance that a particular outcome will occur [impossible, unlikely, likely, certain]. |
event | A situation involving chance that has more than one possible outcome. |
experiment | A test to determine the likelihood of a specific outcome of an event. |
outcome | Any one of the possible results of an event. |
likely | The outcome will probably happen (probability between 0.5 and 1.0). |
impossible | An event WILL NOT happen; no chance of occurring (probability of 0). |
chance | The likelihood that a particular outcome will occur. |
