Match the Key Term with its Definition

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