Module 10 Probability

The desired outcome or set of outcomes in a probability experiment.

• event

• experimental probability

• likelihood

• outcome

The ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity performed. It is based on what actually occurred during such an experiment.

• outcome

• likelihood

• sample space

• experimental probability

The chance of an event occurring.

• event

• probability experiment

• likelihood

• simple event

Any one of the possible results of an action. For example, 4 is an outcome when a number cube is rolled.

• likelihood

• outcome

• theoretical probability

• simple event

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

• probability

• simple event

• sample space

• simulation

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

• probability experiment

• simple event

• outcome

• probability

The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

• probability experiment

• theoretical probability

• simulation

• sample space

One outcome or a collection of outcomes.

• theoretical probability

• simulation

• simple event

• probability

An experiment that is designed to model the action in a given situation.

• theoretical probability

• sample space

• likelihood

• simulation

The ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes in the sample space. It is based on what should happen when conducting a probability.

• sample space

• theoretical probability

• likelihood

• outcome
