23 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
|
set
|
a well defined collection of objects (represented by a captial letter)
|
|
|
elements
|
the objects in a set (represented by a lower case letter)
|
|
|
equal sets
|
2 or more sets that contain exactly the same elements; the order in ehich the elements are listed in irrelevent
|
|
|
empty or null set
|
the set that contains no elements
|
|
|
universal set
|
the set of all elements of interest in a particular discussion
|
|
|
disjoint sets
|
sets that have no elements in common; the intersection of a disjoint set is the nullset
|
|
|
complement of a set A
|
the set of all elements in the universal set the do not belong to the set A
|
|
|
A is a subset of B
|
if A__B then every element in A is in B ans A can be equal to B
|
|
|
A is a proper subset of B
|
is A__B, then every element in A is in B and A must be "smaller" than B
|
|
|
Experiment
|
an activity with abservable results
|
|
|
trial
|
each repetition of an experment
|
|
|
__
|
an element of the set
|
|
|
__
|
not an element of the set
|
|
|
__
|
a subset of the set
|
|
|
__
|
a proper subset of the set
|
|
|
sample space
|
the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment (in set theory this was the universal set)
|
|
|
simple outcome
(sampile point) |
the result of an experiment or a single element in the sample space
|
|
|
event
|
a subset of the sample space(a set of outcomes)
|
|
|
mutually exclusive events
(M.E.) |
events that have no outcomes in common(the therm used in set theort was disjointed sets)
|
|
|
certain event
|
an event that has a probability of 1.0
|
|
|
impossible event
|
an event that has a probability of 0
|
|
|
theoretical probability
|
the probability that is assigned to an event throught the use of theoretical means (i.e. equations or formulas)
|
|
|
empirical probability
|
the probability that is assigned to an event using past experiences of the gathering data
|
