• tree diagram
• simulation
• probability experiment
• complementary event

An event consisting of two or more simple events

• probability
• compound event
• outcome
• relative frequency graph

The desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probability experiment

• simple event
• compound event
• event
• tree diagram

An estimated probability based on the relative frequency of positive outcomes occurring during an experiment.

• sample space
• complementary event
• theoretical probability
• experimental probability

The chance of an event occurring

• relative frequency graph
• event
• likelihood
• probability

Any one of the possible results of an action.

• outcome
• probability experiment
• simulation
• tree diagram

The chance that some event will happen. It is the ratio of the numberr of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes.

• probability
• complementary event
• sample space
• complementary event

When you perform an event to find the likelihood of an event.

• theoretical probability

• probability experiment
• event

A ratio that compares the frequency of each category to the total

• relative frequency
• outcome
• complementary event
• simple event

A graph used to organize occurrences compared to a total
