• theoretical probability

• experimental probability

The results of experiments

• outcomes

• chances

• events

• sample sapce

An event is

• a result you could get in an experiment

• the set of all possible outcomes

• a set of one or more outcomes

• the liklihood ngsomething happening

Only one possible outcome for an event

• sample space

• simple event

• compound event

• theoretical probability

The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment

• sample space

• event

• experiment

• results

If A and B are independent events, then:

• The probability of B is affected by whether A happens

• A and B cannot both happen

• The probability of A is lower if B happens

• The probability of B is not affected by whether A happens

Are two events which do not affect the outcome of each other.

• Equally Likely Events

• Dependent Events

• Probability of Events

• Independent Events
