Unit 6 Vocabulary

Simple Event

• A set or subset of outcomes from a single action or activity where the outcomes cannot be subdivided

• an experiment or model used to test the outcomes of an event

• the likelihood of an event occurring without conducting an experiment

• a probable situation or condition

Simulation

• a probable situation or condition

• a set of outcomes from a combination of actions or activities where the outcomes can be subdivided (e.g., flipping a coin and rolling a number cube)

• a subset of the population selected in order to make inferences about the entire population

• an experiment or model used to test the outcomes of an event

Theoretical Data

• the outcome from one action or activity may affect the probability of the outcomes(s) of any subsequent actions or activity(s)

• the possible outcomes of an event without conducting an experiment

• a ratio between the number of desired outcomes to the total possible outcomes, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1

• a conclusion or prediction based on data

Theoretical Probability

• a conclusion or prediction based on data

• the likelihood of an event occurring without conducting an experiment

• a subset of the population selected without bias in order to make inferences about the entire population

• a narrowed objective description associated with a quantity (e.g., the probability of selecting a consonant from the word EXPERIMENT is 1.5 times as likely as selecting a vowel from the same word, etc.)

Compound Events

• the outcome from one action or activity may affect the probability of the outcome(s) of any subsequent action(s) or activity(s); usually involves compound events

• the data collected or observed from the outcomes of an experiment

• total collection of persons, objects, or items of interest

• a set of outcomes from a combination of actions or activities where the outcomes can be subdivided (e.g., flipping a coin and rolling a number cube).

Dependent Events

• the outcome from one action or activity may affect the probability of the outcome(s) of any subsequent action(s) or activity(s); usually involves compound events

• a broad subjective description (e.g., the probability of an event occurring is certain, more likely, not likely, equally likely, or impossible.)

• the data collected or observed from the outcomes of an experiment

• a conclusion or prediction based on data

Data

• the outcome from one action or activity does not affect the probability of the outcome(s) of any subsequent action(s) or activity(s); usually involves compound events

• a set of outcomes from a combination of actions or activities where the outcomes can be subdivided (e.g., flipping a coin and rolling a number cube).

• information that is collected about people, events, or objects

• a conclusion or prediction based on data
