AP Stats-Chapter 5 Flashcards

5357016227	probability	a number between 0 and 1 that describes the proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long series of repetitions	0
5357037958	simulation	A method of modeling chance behavior that accurately mimics the situation being considered.	1
5357056803	law of large numbers	in the long run, as the sample size increases, the relative frequencies of outcomes approach the theoretical probability	2
5831363431	sample space	The set of all possible outcomes	3
5831365243	probability model	description of some chance process that consists of two parts: a sample space S and the probability of each outcome	4
5831370072	event	a collection of outcomes from some chance process, a subset of the sample space	5
5831372392	mutually exclusive (disjoint)	two events that have no outcomes in common and therefore can never occur together	6
5831376848	complement of an event	consists of all possible outcomes in a sample space that are NOT part of the event	7
5831379134	Addition Rule for Mutually Exclusive Events	P(A or B) = P(A) + P (B)	8
5831381638	General Addition Rule for Two Events	P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)	9
5831387327	Intersection	P(A and B)	10
5831387955	Union	P(A or B)	11
5831391698	conditional probability	The probability of an event occurring given that another has occurred. The probability of A given that B has occurred is denoted as P(A\|B).	12
5831393816	General Multiplication Rule	The probability that events A and B both occur can be found using the formula P(A ∩ B) = P(A) ∙ P(B \| A)	13
5831398305	tree diagram	Used to display the sample space for a chance process that involves a sequence of outcomes.	14
5831400220	independent events	The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the second event	15
5831404726	Multiplication Rule for Independent events	P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)	16
