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 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

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
