  • Dependent Events
    Situations where the outcome of one occurrence influences the likelihood of another in a probability scenario.
  • Independent Events
    Occurrences where the result of one does not alter the probability of the other happening.
  • Conditional Probability
    The chance of an outcome occurring, assuming that another specific outcome has already taken place.
  • Multiplication Rule
    A method for finding the probability of two events both happening by multiplying relevant probabilities.
  • Probability Formula
    An equation used to calculate the likelihood of events, often involving multiplication or division of probabilities.
  • Sample Space
    The complete set of all possible outcomes in a probability experiment or scenario.
  • Numerator
    The top part of a fraction representing the number of favorable outcomes in probability calculations.
  • Denominator
    The bottom part of a fraction indicating the total number of possible outcomes in probability.
  • Double Major
    A situation where an individual fulfills the requirements for two academic disciplines simultaneously.
  • Survey
    A method of collecting data from a group to analyze probabilities or frequencies of certain characteristics.
  • Event A
    The initial occurrence or condition in a probability problem, often the 'given' situation.
  • Event B
    The subsequent occurrence or condition whose probability is evaluated, often dependent on Event A.
  • Vertical Line Notation
    A symbol used to denote 'given that' in conditional probability, as in P(B | A).
  • Real-World Scenario
    A practical context where probability concepts are applied to analyze outcomes or make decisions.
  • Fraction Simplification
    The process of reducing a probability fraction to its lowest terms for clearer interpretation.
