• outcome

Two events where one event does NOT affect the outcome of the other occurring.

• dependent

• independent

• outcome

• probability

Doubtful or not probable that an event will occur.

• impossible

• likely

• certain

• unlikely

Two events where if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome of the second so that the probability is changed.

• likelihood

• independent

• dependent

• simulation
