Probability: What Are The Chances? [The Practice of Statistics, 5th Edition- Chapter 5 ]

#Statistics #AP #Highschool #Probability

Venn diagrams

________ can also be used to show the sample space of a chance process with two events.

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.

probability of any event

The ________ is a number between 0 and 1.

Two way tables

________, Venn diagrams, and tree diagrams are some helpful tools for displaying possible outcomes from a chance process.

Complement

________: The probability that an event does not occur is 1 minus the probability that the event does occur.

Tree diagram

________ can be used to model the general multiplication rule when a chance process involves a sequence of outcomes.

A|B

P (________) is the probability of event A occurring, given that event B occurs.

Simulation

________ is a very useful method to model chance behaviour.

probability model

A(n) ________ does more than just assign a probability to each outcome.

Probability calculations

________ are useful because they are the basis for inference.

P

________ (A)= number of outcomes corresponding to event A /total number of outcomes in sample space.

conditional probability

Where P (B | A) is the ________ that event B occurs given that event A has already occurred.

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 ?.

possibility of something

Chance is the ________ happening.

imitation of chance behaviour

The ________, based on a model that accurately reflects the situation, is called a simulation.

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.
