Factorial
|
The product of a given integer and all smaller integers.
|
|
|
Likely Event
|
An event or outcome that is very likely or going to happen.
|
|
|
Independent Event
|
Events for which the probability of any one event occurring is unaffected by the occurrence or non-occurrence of any of the other events.
|
|
|
Outcome
|
A single specific possible result of an experiment.
|
|
|
Event
|
A set of possible outcomes resulting from a particular experiment.
|
|
|
Fundamental Counting Principle (FPC)
|
When you use multiplication of the number of ways each event in an experiment can't occur to find the number of possible outcomes in a sample set.
|
|
|
Fair
|
All outcomes are equally likely.
|
|
|
Frequency
|
The number of times that an event occurs within a given period.
|
|
|
Experimental Probability
|
An estimated probability that is based on frequency of positive outcomes occurring during an experiment.
|
|
|
Dependent Events
|
Two or more events which the outcomes of one event affects the outcome of the other event.
|
|
|
Combination
|
An arrangement or listing i which order is not important.
|
|
|
Equally Likely
|
The same amount of likelyness as another probability.
|
|
|
Compound Event
|
An event made up of two or more events.
|
|
|
Complementary Event
|
The events of one outcome.
|
|
|
Unlikely Event
|
An event or outcome not likely to happen.
|
|
|
Tree Diagram
|
a type of diagram showing the types of outcomes in a probability
|
|
|
Theoretical Probability
|
A probability based on facts known
|
|
|
simulation
|
imitation or enactment as of something anticipated (expecting) or in testing
|
|
|
Simple events
|
a specific outcome or type of outcome
|
|
|
Sample space
|
the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment
|
|
|
relative frequency
|
how often something happens by all outcomes
|
|
|
permutation
|
all possible arrangements of a collection of things where the order is important
|
|
|
Random
|
outcomes that occur at random if each outcome is likely to occur
|
|
|
probability
|
the chance that something will happen
|
|
|
prediction
|
a reasonable guess as to what will happen
