Compound Events

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

• Independent events are always more likely to occur than dependent events.

• Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do.

• Dependent events are always mutually exclusive.

• Independent events can only occur in a sequence.

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

• Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual trials.

• Theoretical probability is based on actual trials, while experimental probability is based on expected outcomes.

• Theoretical probability is always higher than experimental probability.

• Theoretical probability is calculated using a formula, while experimental probability is calculated using intuition.

What are the possible results of an experiment called?

• Results

• Outcomes

• Findings

• Conclusions

What is the definition of a compound event?

• An event that combines two or more simple events.

• An event that occurs only once.

• An event that has no possible outcomes.

• An event that is impossible to happen.

What is a simple event?

• An event that consists of a single outcome.

• An event that can have multiple outcomes.

• An event that is impossible to occur.

• An event that occurs frequently.

What is experimental probability?

• The probability based on the results of a series of trials.

• The theoretical probability calculated using a formula.

• The probability that is always equal to 1.

• The probability determined by personal judgment.

How do you calculate the probability of a compound event?

• Use the formula: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) for independent events.

• Add the probabilities of the individual events together.

• Multiply the probabilities of the individual events and then add them.

• Use the formula: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
