Lesson 's Glossary: Binomial
Experiment: A experiment that has only two possible outcomes.
Binomial probability: Finds
probabilities of binomial experiments and uses the binomial theorem
to find the probabilities.
Binomial Theorem: If we expand (x + y)n
and n is a positive integer then
(x + y)n=
C0xn + C1xn-1y1
+ C2xn-2y2 + ... + Cn-1x1yn-1
+ Cnyn
Combination: Any arrangement in which order is not important.
Dependent events: The outcome of a
dependent event is affected by the outcome of the previous event.
Independent Events: If an outcome
doesn’t affect the outcome of a following event, then the two events
are independent.
Factorial! n! represents the product of
all the whole numbers from n to 1. n! is the product of all the
whole numbers from n down to 1 - used in probability.
Outcomes: The possible results of a
probability experiment.
Pascal's Triangle: A pattern made in the
shape of a pyramid finding the coefficients of the terms generated
by a binomial expansion. It is used in probability as well.
Permutation: Any arrangement in which
order is important.
Probability: The possibility of an event
to happen. The probability of getting an even number when rolling a
6 sided dice is 50%.
Sample Space: All possible ways an event
may happen. |
