Unit 5: Probability

a probable situation or condition

• event

• complement of an event

• probability

• simulation

the probability of the event NOT occuring

• event

• complement of an event

• probability

• simulation

the likelihood of an event happening, expressed as a ratio between the number of desired outcomes and possible outcomes

• event

• complement of an event

• probability

• simulation

an experiment or model used to test the outcomes of an event. Ex: tossing a coin, rolling a die, to represent an event

• event

• complement of an event

• probability

• simulation

the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials

• experimental probability

• theoretical probability

• independent probability

• dependent probability

the probability of an event happening based on all possible outcomes

• experimental probability

• theoretical probability

• independent probability

• dependent probability

the outcome of one event does NOT impact the outcome of the second event

• experimental probability

• theoretical probability

• independent probability

• dependent probability

the outcome of one event impacts the outcome of another

• experimental probability

• theoretical probability

• independent probability

• dependent probability

when more than 1 event takes place

• compound event

• outcome

• certain

• likely

the result of an action or event

• compound event

• outcome

• certain

• likely
