Elementary Stats: Probability and Counting Rules (Vocab)

What does "Classical Probability" refer to in the context of Chapter 4 vocabulary terms?

• A selection of objects without regard to order.

• The type of probability that uses sample spaces to determine the numerical probability that an event will happen.

• The set of outcomes in the sample space that are not among the outcomes of the event itself.

• A rule used to determine the number of possible outcomes in a sequence of events.

What is a "Combination" according to the Chapter 4 vocabulary terms?

• An arrangement of objects in a specific order.

• The probability that an event B occurs after an event A has already occurred.

• A selection of objects without regard to order.

• Events that cannot occur at the same time or have no common outcomes.

What is the "Complement of an Event" in probability terms?

• The type of probability that uses frequency distributions based on observations to determine numerical probabilities of events.

• The events in the sample space that have the same probability of occurring.

• The set of outcomes in the sample space that are not among the outcomes of the event itself.

• A possible result of a probability experiment.

What defines a "Compound Event" in probability?

• An event that consists of two or more outcomes or simple events.

• Events for which the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other.

• A theorem that states that as the number of trials in a probability experiment increases, the relative frequency of occurrence for an event approaches the theoretical probability of the event.

• The probability that an event B occurs after an event A has already occurred.

What is "Conditional Probability"?

• The probability that an event B occurs after an event A has already occurred.

• Events for which the outcome or occurrence of the first event affects the outcome or occurrence of the second event in such a way that the probability is changed.

• The type of probability that uses sample spaces to determine the numerical probability that an event will happen.

• The events in the sample space that have the same probability of occurring.

What are "Dependent Events" in probability?

• Events for which the outcome or occurrence of the first event affects the outcome or occurrence of the second event in such a way that the probability is changed.

• Events that cannot occur at the same time or have no common outcomes.

• The set of outcomes in the sample space that are not among the outcomes of the event itself.

• A selection of objects without regard to order.

What is "Empirical Probability"?

• A rule used to determine the number of possible outcomes in a sequence of events.

• The type of probability that uses frequency distributions based on observations to determine numerical probabilities of events.

• The probability that an event B occurs after an event A has already occurred.

• An arrangement of objects in a specific order.

What does it mean when events are "Equally Likely Events"?

• The events in the sample space that have the same probability of occurring.

• A selection of objects without regard to order.

• The set of outcomes in the sample space that are not among the outcomes of the event itself.

• An event that consists of two or more outcomes or simple events.
