Chapter 9: Probability
compound event
independent event
probability
sample space

9-1: Simple Events
outcome
simple event
probability
random
complementary event
A simple event is one outcome or a collection of outcomes.

9-2: Sample Spaces
sample space
tree diagram
fair game
The set of all of the possible outcomes in a probability experiment is called the sample space.

9-3: The Fundamental Counting Principle
Fundamental Counting Principle: If event M has m possible outcomes and event N has n possible outcomes, then event M followed by event N has m × n possible outcomes.

 

9-4: Permutations
A permutation is an arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is important.
Mid-Chapter Quiz
9-5: Combinations
An arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is not important is called a combination.
9-6: Problem-Solving Investigation
9-7: Theoretical and Experimental Probability
theoretical probability
experimental probability

Theoretical probability is based on what should happen when conducting a probability experiment. Experimental probability is based on what actually occurred during such an experiment.

9-8: Compound Events
compound event
independent events
dependent events
disjoint events
Probability of Independent Events
P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)
Probability of Dependent Events
P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B following A)
