correct
any collection of results or outcomes of a procedure - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔event
an outcome or event that cannot be further broken down into simpler componenets - **
VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔simple event
for a procedure consisting of all possible simple events; that is, the sample space consists of
all outcomes that cannot be broken down any further - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰
✔✔sample space
denotes probability - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔P
denotes specific events - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔A, B, and C
denotes the probability of event A occuring - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔P(A)
for subjective probabilities, the probability of event A is estimated by using - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔knowledge of the relevant circumstances
, as a procedure is repeated again and again, the relative frequency probability of an event
tends to approach the actual probability - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔law of large
numbers
always express a probability as a fraction or decimal number between - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔0 and 1
probability of an impossible event is __ - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔0
probability of an event that is certain to occur is - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS🔰 ✔✔1
