Term
Independent
Definition
When the occurrence of event E in a probability experiment does not affect the probability of event F
Term
Dependent
Definition
When the occurrence of event E in a probability experiment affects the probability of event F
Term
Multiplication rule for independent events
Definition
P(E and F) = P(E) x P(F)
Term
1. Rules of probability
Definition
The probability of an event must be between 0 and 1
Term
2. Rules of probability
Definition
The sum of all probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1
Term
3. Rules of probability
Definition
If E and F are:
Independent events, then P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)
Dependent events, then P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E and F)
Term
4. Rules of probability
Definition
If E represents any event and E^c represents the complement of E, then P(E^c) = 1 - P(E)
Term
5. Rules of probability
Definition
If E and F are independent events, then P(E and F) = P(E) x P(F)
