Probability Vocab

An event that consists of two or more events

•  event
• dependent events
• experiment
• compound event

An event M has m possible outcomes and event N has n possible outcomes. The total number of outcomes of event M followed by event N is .

• experimental probability

The fraction or percent of the time that an event occurs in an experiment

• relative frequency
• sample space
• experiment
• event

The ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes when all possible outcomes are equally likely

• experiment
• Fundamental Counting Principle
