front 1 Probability Distribution | back 1 A function that assigns probabilities to each possible outcome of a random variable. (It helps to make a table) |
front 2 Random Variable | back 2 A variable whose value is a numerical outcome of a random phenomenon. |
front 3 Expected value (mean) | back 3 The average value of a random variable, calculated by multiplying each outcome by its probability and summing the results. |
front 4 Geometric Distribution | back 4 A discrete probability distribution describing the number of trials needed to get the first success in a sequence of independent trials. |
front 5 Binomial Distribution | back 5 A discrete probability distribution describing the number of successes in a sequence of independent trials, each with the same probability of success. |
front 6 Central Limit Theorem | back 6 A theorem stating that the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normal, regardless of the population distribution, as long as the sample size is sufficiently large. |
front 7 Complement of an Event | back 7 the set of all outcomes not defined as successful outcomes for any event |
front 8 Conditional probability | back 8 the probability of an event occurring if it is known that another specific event has already occured. |
front 9 Mutually Exclusive events | back 9 no data |
