Document Summary
The chance that an event will occur: discuss the meaning of 10% chance of snowing this late afternoon , for a true or false question, what is the chance of getting the correct answer if. Why: give 2-3 examples of situations where you use probability concept in your daily life. Understand the terms experiment, event and outcome. Use tree diagrams to solve problems involving probabilities. Construct and use venn diagrams to illustrate and define the concepts of complementary, mutually exclusively, union and intersection of events is a branch of mathematics that measures the chance of the event will occur. It takes value between 0 and 1, inclusive. Use venn diagrams to solve simple problems. Calculate conditional probabilities and use them to test for independence. Use basic probability rules to calculate and or and not probabilities. Experiment: a process of observation with and uncertain outcome. Outcome: a particular result of an experiment.
