AB
Basic Counting PrincipleIf event M can occur in M ways and is followed by an event N that can occur in N ways, then the event M followed by the event N can occur in M*N ways.
Binomial ExperimentsA problem that can be solved using binomial expansion.
Circular PermutationA circular arrangement of objects in a certain order.
CombinationAn arrangement of objects where the order is not considered.
CombinatoricsThe investigation of the different possibilities for the arrangement of objects
ComplementsTwo events are compliments if and only if the sum of their probabilities is 1.
Conditional ProbabilityThe probability of an event under the condition that some preceding event has occurred.
Dependent eventEvents that have no effect on each other.
Experimental ProbabilityA probability determined by performing tests or experiments and observing outcomes.
FailureAny outcome other than the desired outcome event
Inclusive eventTwo events whose outcomes may be the same.
Independent eventEvents that do not affect each other.
Mutually exclusiveTwo events whose outcomes can never be the same.
OddsThe ratio of probability of the success of an event to the probability of a failure of an event.
PermutationThe arrangement of objects in a certain order.
Permutation with repetitionThe arrangement of objects in a certain order in which some of the objects are alike.
Reduced sample spaceThe subset of a sample space that contains only those outcomes that satisfy a given condition.
Sample SpaceThe set of all possible outcomes of an event.
SimulationA technique used to model probability experiments for real world applications.
SuccessThe desired outcome of an event.
