Warmup: Intro to Probability

Front

What is probability?

Back

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Front

What is a theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the probability of an event calculated based on the possible outcomes in a perfect scenario.

Front

What does it mean for events to be equally likely?

Back

Events are equally likely if they have the same chance of occurring.

Front

What is the complement of a set?

Back

The complement of a set A (denoted A') includes all elements not in A.

Front

What is an empty set?

Back

An empty set, denoted as {} or ∅, is a set that contains no elements.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

The probability of an event is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What is a favorable outcome?

Back

A favorable outcome is an outcome that satisfies the conditions of the event we are interested in.

Front

What is a universal set?

Back

A universal set is a set that contains all possible elements relevant to a particular problem or discussion.

Front

What is a disjoint set?

Back

Disjoint sets are sets that have no elements in common.
