Term | Definition |
---|---|
Compound event | finding the probability of more than one event occurring at the same time |
Dependent event | the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed |
Equally likely | events that have the same theoretical probability (or likelihood) of occurring |
Event | A set of possible outcomes resulting from a particular experiment |
Experiment | a trial, any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes |
Experimental probability | the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed |
Certain | It is will occur |
Impossible | cannot happen |
Independent event | if the fact that A occurs does not affect the probability of B occurring |
Likely | the probability of something to happen |
Mutually exclusive event | cannot occur at the same time |
Odds | the ratios that compare the number of ways the event can occur with the number of ways the event cannot occur |
Outcomes | a result of an event that depends on probability |
Population | a discrete group of things that can be identified by at least one common characteristic for the purposes of data collection and analysis |
Random sampling | A selection that is chosen randomly purely by chance, with no predictability |
Sampling space | the set of all possible outcomes of that experiment |
Simulation | a way to model random events, such that simulated outcomes closely match real-world outcomes |
Theoretical probability | method to express the likelihood that something will occur |
Trial | an experiment |
Unlikely | event that is not likely to happen |
