  • Independent Events
    Two outcomes where the result of one does not influence the result of the other in any way.
  • Dependent Events
    Two outcomes where the result of one changes the likelihood of the other occurring.
  • Probability
    A numerical measure representing the chance of a specific outcome among all possible outcomes.
  • And Probability
    The likelihood of two or more outcomes all occurring, found by multiplying their individual probabilities.
  • Set Notation
    A symbolic way to represent relationships between events, often using symbols like the upside-down U for 'and.'
  • Coin Flip
    A random experiment with two equally likely outcomes, typically heads or tails.
  • Six-Sided Die
    A cube-shaped object with faces numbered 1 through 6, each equally likely to land face up.
  • Outcome
    A possible result from a random experiment, such as a specific side of a die or coin.
  • Sample Space
    The complete set of all possible outcomes for a random experiment.
  • Multiplication Rule
    A principle stating that the probability of several independent outcomes is the product of their individual probabilities.
  • Event
    A collection of one or more outcomes from a random process, often of interest in probability calculations.
  • Decimal Probability
    A probability value expressed as a decimal, such as 0.25, representing the chance of an event.
  • Fractional Probability
    A probability value expressed as a fraction, such as 1/4, representing the chance of an event.
  • Consecutive Trials
    Multiple random experiments performed one after another, such as repeated coin flips or die rolls.
  • Possible Outcomes
    All distinct results that can occur from a random experiment, forming the basis for probability calculations.
