probability

The likelihood of an event occurring. Expressed as a number between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%

probability
experiment

Any process that can be repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes.

outcome

A single result of an experiment.

event

A collection of one or more outcomes.

sample space

The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

PA

The probability of event A occurring.

probability of a certain event

1 or 100%

probability of an impossible event

0 or 0%

mutually exclusive events

Events that cannot occur at the same time.

independent events

The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another.

dependent events

The outcome of one event affects the outcome of another.

addition rule for mutually exclusive events

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

addition rule for non-mutually exclusive events

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

multiplication rule for independent events

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

multiplication rule for dependent events

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A) (P(B|A) is the probability of B given A has occurred)

conditional probability

The probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

complement of an event A

The event that A does not occur. Denoted as A' or A<sup>c</sup>. P(A') = 1 - P(A)

tree diagram

A visual representation used to organize and calculate probabilities, especially for sequences of events.

Venn diagram

A visual representation used to show the relationships between sets of events, particularly useful for illustrating mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events.

expected value

The average outcome of an experiment over a large number of trials. Calculated by summing the product of each outcome and its probability.

permutation

An arrangement of objects in a specific order. nPr = n!/(n-r)!

combination

A selection of objects where order does not matter. nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)

factorial n

The product of all positive integers up to n. Example: 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
