Match the Key Term with its Definition

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Empirical Probability
The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment
Event
a subset of the sample space consisting of one or more outcomes
Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP)
the result from a single trial in a probability experiment
Simple Event
an event that consists of a single outcome
Sample space
when events happen in sequence, you can multiply the number of outcomes from each of the the events to determine the total possible number of outcomes.
Complement of an Event
= (# ways you can get desired outcome)/(# total possible outcomes)
Independent Event P(A) = P(A/B)
= relative frequency from a probabilty experiment
Classical Probability
As the number of trials in an experiment is increased, the experimental probability beomes closer and closer to the theoretical probability
Dependent Event
Probabilites must be equal to or greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
Multiplication Rule
Is the probability of any other outcome occurring other than the known probability
Outcome
The probability of an event, given that another event has already occurred
Conditional Probability
If the probability of event A is unchanged, given that event B already occurred.
Law of Large Numbers
If the probability of event A changes, given that event B already occurred.
Range of Probabilities
If events occur in sequence, the probability of them occurring one after the other can be determined by multiplying the probabilities of each event together.
