Math 225 - Statistical Reasoning for the Health
Sciences Week 4 Questions with Verified
Correct Answers
Experiment
An action, or trial, through which specific results (counts, measurements, or responses) are
obtained.
Outcome
Is the result of a single trial in a probability
Sample Space
The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment
Event
A subset of a sample space; It may consist of one or more outcomes
Simple Event
An event consisting of only one outcome
Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP)
if one event can occur "m" ways and a second event can occur "n" ways, then the number of
ways that two events can occur together is m x n
Classical (Theoretical) Probability
Used when each outcome in a sample space is equally likely to occur
P(E) = Number of outcomes in event E / Total number of outcomes in sample space
