Z-Score correct answers Data points only. Measurement of a scores relationship to the mean. A
statistical measure that indicates the number of standard deviations a data point is from its mean.
Variance correct answers How far a set of numbers are spread. Used for Data set. Hint Words =
Risk, spread.
Multiplication Rule correct answers A method for finding the probability that both of two events
occur. When the probabilities of multiple events are multiplied together to determine the
likelihood of all of the events happening. Word Hint: And
Addition Rule correct answers A method for finding the probability that either or both of two
events occur. When two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will
occur is the sum of the probability of each event. Word Hint: Either/or.
Combination Rule correct answers How many combinations can be made.
Bayes Theorem correct answers Probability of an event , based on conditions that might be
related to the event. Conditional probability. A formula that calculates conditional probabilities.
Important for understanding how new information affects the probabilities of outcomes. Word
