9227935686DisjointEvents cannot be independent They can be one event or the other but not both and the events have nothing in common with each other. If one has occured the other must not occur.0
9228019137IndependentOne event having occured does not affect the outcome of the other event. (Knowing one has occured does not change the probability of the other occured). P(A and B) = P(A) time P(B). Also P(A) = PA|B) Also P(B) = P(B|A)1

9243011931SimulationThe imitation of chance behavior based on a model that accurately reflects the phenomenon under consideration.3
9243034014ProbabilityThe proportion of times an outcome would occur in a very large series of repetitions.4
9243044996Simulation Steps1. State the problem 2. State your assumptions regarding probabilities 3. Assign digits to represent outcomes 4. Simulate many repetitions 5. Summarise your findings and state your conclusions.5
9243068546Sample SpaceSet of all possible outcomes6
9243076044EventAny outcome or set of outcomes.7
9243088197Probability ModelA sample space and a way of assigning probabilities to events.8

9243264138Rules of probability1. All probabilities must be between 0 and 1 2. Addition rule: If A and B are disjoint events then P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) 3. Complement rule: For any event A. P(A^c)=1-P(A) 4. P(S)=1 5. Multiplication rule: If A and B are independent events then P(A and B)=P(A)P(B)14
