Exploring Compound Probability Concepts

What is compound probability concerned with?

• Predicting future events without data

• Compound events involving more than one action

• Single events only

• Events based on historical data

How do you find the total number of possibilities in a compound event?

• By adding the number of outcomes for each event

• By multiplying the outcomes of each event

• By dividing the outcomes of one event by the other

• By subtracting the outcomes of one event from the other

When is a tree diagram especially recommended?

• For calculating simple probabilities

• When dealing with single events

• For events with only two outcomes

• When there are more than two events
