6749842659complementary eventstwo disjoint events that together make up the entire sample space0
6749842660P(at least 1)1- P(none)1
6749842661mutually exclusive events (disjoint events)events that can't happen at the same time2
6749842662Interpretation of A ∩ BA intersect B; the outcomes that are in A and that are also in B3
6753981077Formula for the probability of two INDEPENDENT events, A and B, occurringP(A) x P(B)4
6753994510Formula for the probability of two events, A and B, occurring; events DO NOT need to be INDEPENDENTP(A) x P(B | A)5
6749842667Interpretation of A ∪ BA union B; the outcomes that are in A or B (or both)6
6753940422Formula for the probability of event A or event B occurringP(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)7
6749842664The Law of Large NumbersAs the number of trails increases, the proportion of times a specific outcome occurs approaches a the true probability of the event8
6749842669outcomethe possible result of a situation or experiment9
6749842670eventa single outcome or a group of outcomes10
6749842671sample spacethe set of all possible outcomes11
6749842672probabilitythe numerical value from 0 to 1 that describes the proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long series of repetitions P(event) = (number of favorable outcomes) ÷ (number of possible outcomes)12
6749842665trialin probability, a single repetition or observation of an experiment13
6749842666probability model or probability distributionidentifies all possible outcomes and the corresponding probability of each possible outcome14
6749842668conditional probability, P(A | B)The probability that A occurs, given that B has occurred15
6754047758Formula for conditional probability "B given A"P(B | A) = P(A n B) / P(A)16
6754012922Independent EventsIf the occurrence of one event has no effect on the change that other event will happen17
6754031125Numerical way to show 2 events are independentP(A) = P(A | B) AND P(B) = P(B | A)18
