What word is associated with the multiplication rule?</li>
AND</li>
What word is associated with the addition rule?
OR
What condition must be met to use the multiplication rule?</li>
The two events must independent.</li>
What condition must be met to use the addition rule?
The two events must disjoint.
The long-run relative frequency of repeated independent events gets closer and closer to a single value.
Define the law of large numbers.
Events will occur if they haven't in a long time so they average out. This is a fallacy (wrong) and should not be used to calculate probabilities.
Define the law of averages.
When we express a degree of uncertainty without basing it on long-run relative frequencies or mathematical calculations we call this __________________ or _________________.Term
Subjective or personal probabilities.
The first rule for probability.
A probability is a number between 0 and 1.
The second rule for probability.
The sum of the set of all probabilities equals 1.!
P(S) = 1
The set of outcomes that are not in the event A is called the complement of A. An event plus it's complement is equal to one.
The complement rule for probability.
For two independent events A and B, the probability that both A and B occur is the product of the probabilities of the two events.
The multiplication rule for probability.
For two disjoint events A and B, the probability that one or the other occurs is the sum of the probabilities of the two events.
The addition rule for probability.
