  • Complement
    All possible outcomes where a specific event does not occur, forming a complete set with the event itself.
  • Probability
    A numerical measure between 0 and 1 representing the likelihood of an event occurring among all possible outcomes.
  • Event
    A specific outcome or group of outcomes of a random experiment, such as rolling a four on a die.
  • Outcome
    A single possible result from a random process, like drawing a card or rolling a die.
  • Complement Rule
    A principle stating that the probability of an event plus its complement equals one.
  • Notation
    Symbols or marks used to represent mathematical concepts, such as an apostrophe or bar for complements.
  • Sample Space
    The complete set of all possible outcomes in a random experiment.
  • Formula
    A mathematical expression, such as P(¬A) = 1 - P(A), used to calculate probabilities.
  • Six-sided Die
    A cube with faces numbered one through six, commonly used in probability examples.
  • Standard Deck
    A set of 52 playing cards, including four suits and four cards of each rank.
  • Denominator
    The bottom number in a fraction, representing the total number of possible outcomes.
  • Numerator
    The top number in a fraction, indicating the number of favorable outcomes for an event.
  • Decimal
    A numerical representation of probability, such as 0.92, derived from a fraction.
  • Random Experiment
    A process that produces uncertain results, like rolling dice or drawing cards.
  • Queen
    A specific card rank used as an example in probability calculations with a standard deck.
