| experiment | an activity involving chance |
| trial | each repetition of an experiment |
| outcome | each result of a trial |
| event | a set of one or more outcomes |
| probability | the measure of how likely the event is to occur |
| complement | the set of all outcomes that are not the event |
| experimental probability | is found by comparing the number of times the event occurs to the total number of trials |
| sample space | all the possible outcomes of an experiment |
| Fundamental Counting Principle | states that you can find the total number of outcomes for 2 or more experiments by multiplying the number of outcomes for each separate experiment |
| Theoretical probability | is used to find the probability of an event when all outcomes are equally likely |
| independent events | the occurence of one event has no effect on the probability that a second event will occur |
| dependent events | the occurence of one event does have an effect on the probability that a second event will occur |
| permutation | an arrangement of objects or events in which the order is important |
| factorial of a whole number | the product of all the whole numbers except 0 that are less than or equal to the number |
