Stats 151 - Predicting Outcomes with Probability
Cards in this deck (18)
- 1What is probability?it is the odds of something happening that is used after you have collected and explored data. It is part of the inference step before we start to compare and find relationships between data sets.
- 2how do we write a probability statement?P(experiment) = probability
- 3What is the probability of an event?a number between 0 and 1 that predicts how likely it is for an outcome to occur
- 4What is a random experiment?an experiment where the outcome is uncertain
- 5What is a trial?a single performance of an experiment
- 6what is an outcome?the results of a single trial
- 7What is a sample space (S)?the set of all possible outcomes for a random experiment
- 8what is an event?a subset of outcomes from the sample space (S)
- 9what is a simple event?data from a single outcome e.g. the odds of rolling a 4 on a die
- 10What is a compound event?data from more then one outcome e.g. the odds of rolling an even number on a die
- 11What is a Venn diagram?a graph representing sample space that consists of a rectangle for the sample space and dots inside it representing the outcomes
- 12What is a tree diagram?a visual graph that shows all possible outcomes. e.g. if a bag has 6 balls, 2 white, 2 red, and 2 green, you would show all possible combinations by drawig one ball of each color to represent the possibilities for the first picking and one bll of each color stemming off of each original drawing to represent the possibilities for the second pick = 9 possible choices
- 13how do you find the probability of an outcome?Pi = P(Ei)
- 14What are the conditions for probabilities?the number must be between 0 and 1 and the Pi must be greater then or equal to 1
- 15What does the number between 0 and 1 mean?if it is close to zero the even will rarely happen, if it is close to 1 it will happen often. if it is 1 it will always happen and if it is 0 it will never happen.
- 16How do you assign probability if the likelihood of all outcomes are equal?P(A) = # of outcomes in A / # of outcomes in S = # outcomes in A / N
- 17How do you assign probability if the likelihood of all outcomes are not equal?just use the relative frequency
- 18What does AUB stand for?either A or B or both can occur
