What is probability simulation?

Back

Probability simulation is a method used to model and analyze the likelihood of different outcomes in a random process by using experiments or simulations.

What is a number cube?

Back

A number cube, commonly known as a die, is a six-sided cube with each side showing a different number from 1 to 6, used in games to generate random numbers.

How can a spinner be used in probability simulations?

Back

A spinner can represent different outcomes in a probability simulation, where each section of the spinner corresponds to a possible outcome.

Front

What does it mean for outcomes to be equally likely?

Back

Outcomes are equally likely when each outcome has the same chance of occurring in a probability experiment.

Front

What is the purpose of using models in probability?

Back

Models in probability help simulate real-world scenarios to predict outcomes and understand the likelihood of events.

Front

How can flipping a coin simulate a 50% chance?

Back

Flipping a coin has two outcomes (heads or tails), making it a simple way to represent a 50% chance for each outcome.

Front

What is the significance of using multiple trials in simulations?

Back

Using multiple trials in simulations helps to obtain more accurate results and better understand the probability of outcomes.

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

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

Front

How can rolling a die simulate a selection from a group of options?

Back

Rolling a die can simulate selecting one option from a group, where each number on the die corresponds to a specific option.

Front

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from experiments.
