probability intersection impossible outcome

certain experiment cardinality possible

event favorable union sample space

 (27) _______________ are set of repeated activities which have well-defined results and
(28)_____________are the possible results of these activities.
 (29)_______________ is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment and any of its subset

3|Page
 is called a/an (30)________________.

 In an experiment with equally probable outcome, to determine the probability of an event E, you
n( E)
can use the formula P(E)= , where n(E) = is the number of (31)________________
n (S)
outcomes and n(S) = is the number of (32)_______________ outcomes.

 If P(E) =0, then E is a/an (33)_______________ event, and if P(E)=1, then E is a/an
(34)________________ event.

 The (35) ________________ of two events is the set of all outcomes that are in at least one of
the event while the (36)_________________ of two events is the set of all outcomes that are in
both events.
