Basic probability - ANSWER✅#of total come\# of total outcome in the sample space
P(B | A) - ANSWER✅conditional probability
,P(A and B)=P(A) • P(B) - ANSWER✅multiplication rule- independent events
P(A and B)= P(A) • P(B|A) - ANSWER✅multiplication rule- dependent events
P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) - ANSWER✅addition rule- Disjoint
P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) - ANSWER✅addition rule- non-Disjoint
product - ANSWER✅The result of multiplying values.
factorization - ANSWER✅The process of determining the prime factors of a composite
number.
integer - ANSWER✅"A number, (positive, negative, or zero), that can be represented
without a fractional or a decimal component."
superscript - ANSWER✅A symbol (such as a number or letter) written above and
immediately to the left or right of another character.
perfect square - ANSWER✅"The product of any integer with itself. . So, a number is a
this if it can be written as the square of an integer. For example, 3 * 3 = 9."
expression - ANSWER✅"A string of terms that are connected by division, addition, and
subtraction operations."
addition - ANSWER✅Finding the total of two or more values.
interval - ANSWER✅A set of numbers between two specified values.
difference - ANSWER✅The result of one number being subtracted from another
number.
multi-step expression - ANSWER✅An expression or equation with more than two
values and two or more operators that requires multiple steps to be solved.
discrete - ANSWER✅"A collection of numbers whose values are distinct, separate,
and unconnected."
negative number - ANSWER✅"A number whose value is less than zero. On the
number line, they are to the left of zero."
division - ANSWER✅Splitting values into equal parts or groups.
estimation - ANSWER✅Approximating a value for a calculation
, radical sign - ANSWER✅The symbol which indicates to take the square root of the
number that follows.
numbers - ANSWER✅A word or symbol (such as 'five' or '16') that represents a
specific amount or quantity.
exponents - ANSWER✅"Sometimes called a power, it is a quantity that represents
repeated multiplication."
parentheses - ANSWER✅"In mathematics, these () are used to separate operations
within an expression. Any operations that lie within parentheses should be performed
first."
real number - ANSWER✅"Any numbers on the number line. They include zero,
negative and positive integers, fractions, and decimals."
sum - ANSWER✅The result of multiple numbers being added together.
square root - ANSWER✅A number that produces a specified number when it is
multiplied by itself.
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - ANSWER✅A concept which states that any
integer greater than 1 is either prime or is the product of a unique set of prime numbers.
prime number - ANSWER✅A number with only two factors: one and itself.
operator - ANSWER✅A word or symbol (such as + or -) that indicates an operation
between values.
principal square root - ANSWER✅"The positive square root of a number. For example,
the principal square root of 36 is 6."
whole number - ANSWER✅A number whose value is 0 or greater (negative numbers
are not considered this), and can be represented without a fractional or a decimal
component.
positive number - ANSWER✅"A number whose value is greater than zero. On the
number line, these numbers are to the right of zero."
additive inverse - ANSWER✅"Two numbers equidistant from 0 on a number line
whose sum is 0. For example, 3 and -3
