Math Test 706
Compound event - answer an event consisting of two or more events that can happen
at the same time or one after the other
constant of variation - answer the rate of change in a direct variation; also known as
constant of proportionality
coordinate plane - answera two-dimensional system in which a location is described by
its distance from two intersecting, perpendicular axes
counting principle - answer principle that states that the number of outcomes for a
compound event is found by multiplying the total number of outcomes for each event
together
dependent events - answer compound events in which one event affects the likelihood
of the other event
direct variation - answera function of the form y = kx, where k is not zero
disjoint events - answerevents that have no outcomes in common
domain - answerthe independent or x values
experimental probability - answera ratio representing the actual results of an experiment
favorable outcome - answeroutcomes for a specific event
function - answera relation in which there is only one output value for any given input
value
independent events - answercompound events in which one event does not affect the
likelihood of the other event
input - answera value that is substituted in for the variable in a function and generates
another value (the output)
linear function - answera function that forms a line when graphed
ordered pair - answera group of two numbers written in the order (x, y), where the first
value represents a horizontal position and the second value represents a vertical
position
