|
What is meant by a repeatable experiment?
|
From the perspective of the experimenter, things don't change
|
Example: flipping a coin
|
|
|
What are the two kinds of sample spaces?
|
Discrete sample spaces and continuous sample spaces
|
|
|
|
What is a discrete sample space divided into?
|
Finite and countably infinite
|
|
|
|
What is meant by finite?
|
The number of outcomes is a finite number
|
|
|
|
What is meant by a continuous sample space?
|
A continuous sample space is always uncountably infinite because it is defined on a continuum
|
|
|
|
What is the difference between discrete and continuous sample spaces?
|
Discrete sample spaces are finite and countable whereas continuous sample spaces are infinite and uncountably infinite
|
|
|
|
What is meant by a simple event?
|
Example: roll a dice. The getting a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 would be a simple event.
|

|
|
What is meant by a composite, or compound event?
|
Example: roll a dice. The event "getting three or greater" is made up of the subset of outcomes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Basically, events made up of two or more outcomes
|
|
|
|
What is the largest of the possible composite events?
|
The sample space
|
|
|
|
What is meant by mathematical symmetry?
|
Same as equally likely probability
