What is probability?

Back

Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the probability determined by conducting an experiment and observing the outcomes.

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

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

Front

What is a probability model?

Back

A probability model is a mathematical representation of a random phenomenon, including a sample space and probabilities for each outcome.

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for events to be equally likely?

Back

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

Front

What is the probability of an event not occurring?

Back

The probability of an event not occurring is 1 minus the probability of the event occurring.

Front

If a spinner has 6 equal sections, what is the probability of landing on any one section?

Back

The probability of landing on any one section is 1/6.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

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