Accelerated Math I Unit 4 Vocabulary Definitions

AB
Addition RuleA method for finding the probability that either or both of two events occurs. P(A or B)=P(A) + P(B).
CombinationA selection of objects from a collection. Order is irrelevant.
Conditional ProbabilityA probability that is computed based on the assumption that some event has already occurred.
Dependent EventsTwo or more events in which the outcome of one event does affect the outcome of the other event or events.
Expected ValueA quantity equal to the average result of an experiment after a large number of trials.
Experimental ProbabilityThe ratio of the number of times an outcome occurs to the total amount of trials performed.
Independent EventsEvents whose outcomes do not influence each other.
Interquartile RangeThe difference between the 25th and the 75th percentile in a data set.
MeanThe sum of the numbers in a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data. This is what we usually call "average."
Mean Deviationthe mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean.
MedianThe number in the middle of a set of data when the data are arranged in order.
ModeThe number that occurs most frequently in a set of numbers.
Multiplication RuleA method for finding the probability that both of two events occur. P(A and B)=P(A)P(B)
Mutually Exclusive EventsEvents that have no outcomes in common.
PermutationA selection of objects in which the order of the objects matters.
PopulationThe entire set of items from which data can be selected.
Quartilesthe numbers that split the data into quarters when data in a set are arranged in order.
Random SampleA sample chosen from a population such that each data unit in the population has an equal chance of being chosen each time.
Sample SpaceThe set of all possible outcomes from an experiment.
Theoretical ProbabilityThe mathematical calculation that an event will happen in theory.
