The outcome of one event not affecting the outcome of another event is called a(n)

• dependent event

• independent event

• outcome

• compound event

A list of possible outcomes can be called:

• the likely list

• here's how it's going down list

• the sample space

• this is what I got list

Some ways to create a sample space for a compound event are to (select all that apply):

• copy off your neighbor

• just try and remember all the possibilities in your head

• make an organized list

• create a tree diagram

A probability tree diagram (select all that apply):

• is a way to organize possible outcomes of a probability experiment

• lists all the possible outcomes with "branches" that look like a tree

• shows each possible outcome

• is a drawing I'll probably draw this spring

A probability dependent event

• is an event that depends on if you have brothers and sisters

• is an event that will probably happen

• is an event you attend with a classmate

• is an event in which the outcome of the second event depends on the outcome of the first event

A probability simulation

• is a method of solving a probability problem by conducting an experiment similar to the situation described in the problem

• is the name of a video game store

• is a live play about probability

Examples of independent events are (select all that apply):

• picking a marble from a bag of 6 marbles, not replacing it, and then picking a marble again

• tossing a coin three times

• picking a card from a deck, putting it in your pocket, and then picking another card

• rolling a dice then tossing a coin

Besides making an organized list or drawing a tree diagram, another way to find the probability of compound events is to multiply the probability of the individual events together.

• True

• False

• 2/18
• 1/9
• 2/20
