independent events
with two events, if the occurrence of either one of them has no effect on the probability of the other
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
independent events | with two events, if the occurrence of either one of them has no effect on the probability of the other |
Mutually exclusive | When its impossible for two events A and B to occur simultaneously |
Empirical Probability | Applies to situations in which we observe how frequently an event occurs |
P(e^1)=1-p(e) | The probability that event e will not occur |
Event | Any subset of a sample space and is denoted by e |
Sample space | The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment and is denoted by s |
Experiment | Any occurrence for which the outcome is uncertain |
Conditional probability | The probability of event B assuming that the event A has already occurred denoted P(b/a) |
Dependent events | When the occurrence of one event has an effect on the probability of another event |
P(e)=1-p(e^1) | The probability that an event E will not occur |
