Probability Vocabulary

What vocabulary word means "the chance of an event occurring?"

• event

• probability

• outcome

• likelihood

What vocabulary word means "it is the ratio of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes?"

• probability

• likelihood

• simulation

• relative frequency

What is a ratio that compares the frequency of each category to the total?

• experimental probability

• relative frequency

• probability

• theoretical probability

What is the sample space?

• a probability model that assigns equal probability to all outcomes

• a diagram

• one outcome or a collection of outcomes

• the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment

What is an experiment designed to model the action in a given situation?

• tree diagram

• experimental probability

• simulation

• outcome

What is compound probability?

• the chance of an event occuring

• a diagram used to show the same space

• one outcome or a collection of outcomes

• an event consisting of two or more simple events

What is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of possible outcomes in the sample space? In other words, it's what should happen in a probability experiment.

• theoretical probability

• experimental probability

• uniform probability model

• relative frequency

What is an estimated probability based on the relative frequency of positive outcomes during an experiment? In other words, it's what actually occurred during a probability experiment.

• tree diagram

• theoretical probability

• experimental probability

• relative frequency

What is a tree diagram?

• a diagram used to show the sample space

• a diagram that looks like a tree

• a probability diagram that assigns equal probability to all outcomes

• the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment

What vocabulary word means "any one of the possible results of an action?"

• event
