 Outcome | one of the possible results of an action. |
| Fundamental Counting Principle | using multiplication, instead of a tree diagram, to find the number of possible outcomes in a sample space. |
| Probability | the chance of an event happening. |
| Experimental Probability | This is based on what ACTUALLY occurred during your trial. |
| Sample Space | The set of all possible outcomes in a probability experiment. |
| Simple Event | one outcome or a collection of outcomes. |
| Theoretical Probability | This is based on what SHOULD happen when conducting a probability experiment. |
| Tree Diagram | This can be used to display a sample space. |
| Compound Events | This consists of two or more simple events. |
| Dependent Event | If the outcome of one event affects the outcome of a second event. |
| Independent Event | When the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of other events. |
