• mean absolute deviation

• experimental probability

• event

• chance experiment

something that happens where the outcome is unknown; you can do over and over again and not necessarily know what is going to happen each time

• random

• representative

• chance experiment

• sample space

a distribution closely resembles the distribution in shape, center, and speed

• representative

• mean absolute deviation

• experimental probability

• event

select an outcome in a way that each of the outcomes is equally likely

• theoretical probability

• representative

• chance experiment

• random

a set of possible outcomes of a chance experiment

• experimental probability

• event

• representative

• sample space

measures the spread in a distribution; it is the mean of the distances of the data points from the mean to the distribution

• experimental probability

• representative
