Probability of Compound Events and Sample Space

The extent to which something is likely to occur is known as - 

• sample space

• an event

• probability

• data

The likelihood of two or more related events occurring is called - 

• compound probability

• theoretical probability

• simple probability

• experimental probability

A set of all possible outcomes is known as - 

• a list

• a complement

• a sample space

• an event

Which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the probability of two related events occurring?

• P(event) x 2

• P(event 1) +   P(event 2)

• P(event 1) x     P(event 2)

• P(event 1 + 2)

You pick a marble from this bag.

What is the probability you will choose either a black or a white marble?

*remember to simplify*

• 3/5

• 4/10

• 3/10

• 8/10

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

The likelihood that an event will NOT occur is known as its - 

• complement

• sample space

• opposite

• trial

If a coin is tossed 3 times, how many possible outcomes are in the sample space?

• 6

• 8

• 3

• It depends

Which of the following methods is NOT a good tool for determining sample space?

• tree diagrams

• area models

• organized lists

• guess and check

A measurement of the likelihood of an event or events occurring on a scale of 0 to 1 is called - 

• data

• luck

• probability

• trials
