1
Venn diagrams
________ can also be used to show the sample space of a chance process with two events.
New cards
2
Mathematics
________ can be used to understand the regular patterns of chance behaviour when the same chance process is repeated multiple times and this is called probability.
New cards
3
probability of any event
The ________ is a number between 0 and 1.
New cards
4
Two way tables
________, Venn diagrams, and tree diagrams are some helpful tools for displaying possible outcomes from a chance process.
New cards
5
Complement
________: The probability that an event does not occur is 1 minus the probability that the event does occur.
New cards
6
Tree diagram
________ can be used to model the general multiplication rule when a chance process involves a sequence of outcomes.
New cards
7
A|B
P (________) is the probability of event A occurring, given that event B occurs.
New cards
8
Simulation
________ is a very useful method to model chance behaviour.
New cards
9
probability model
A(n) ________ does more than just assign a probability to each outcome.
New cards
10
Probability calculations
________ are useful because they are the basis for inference.
New cards
11
P
________ (A)= number of outcomes corresponding to event A /total number of outcomes in sample space.
New cards
12
conditional probability
Where P (B | A) is the ________ that event B occurs given that event A has already occurred.
New cards
13
rules of probability
The ________ provide an answer to the question "What would happen if we repeated the random sampling or random assignment procedure many times ?.
New cards
14
possibility of something
Chance is the ________ happening.
New cards
15
imitation of chance behaviour
The ________, based on a model that accurately reflects the situation, is called a simulation.
New cards
16
probability model
A(n) ________ is a description of some chance process that consists of two parts: a sample space S and a probability for each outcome.
