Probability
The extent to which an even is likely to occur. |
The Fundamental Counting Principle
If one event has m possible outcomes and a second independent event (the outcomes of one event doesn't affect the outcome of another event) has n possible outcomes, then there are (m x n) total possible outcomes for the two events together. |
Relative Area
A total visible surface area that an event can occur on. |
Permutations
a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged |
Combinations
a joining or merging of different parts or qualities in which the component elements are individually distinct |
Tree Diagramming
a thing that has a branching structure resembling that of a tree |
'e' and Logarithms
'e' has a value of approximately 2.718 and a logarithm is a quantity representing the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number. |
The Law of Large Numbers
ple of probability according to which the frequencies of events with the same likelihood of occurrence even out, given enough trials or instances. |
Theoretical and Experimental Probability
Theoretical probability is the likeliness of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes, and experimental is a ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed. |
