Front

What is sample space?

Back

A list of all possible outcomes of an event.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of combinations in a scenario with multiple choices?

Back

Multiply the number of choices for each category together.

Front

What is a tree diagram used for in probability?

Back

To visually represent all possible outcomes of a series of events.

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

The probability of an event based on the possible outcomes, representing what should happen.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

The probability of an event based on actual experiments or trials, representing what actually happens.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a 15 with a pair of dice?

Back

Impossible, as the maximum sum of two dice is 12.

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes).

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do.

Front

What is a compound event in probability?

Back

An event that involves two or more simple events.

Front

How do you find the probability of a compound event?

Back

Use the addition rule for mutually exclusive events or the multiplication rule for independent events.
