A simulation is a mathematical model used to represent a situation.
- A simulation can be a program or a physical test to "simulate" a situation to predict the outcomes.
When we combine two or more simple events we have a compound event
- "Compound" means to combine, like a compound word would be a combination of two words
A Tree Diagram is a diagram that shows all the possible outcomes of an event
- In a tree diagram, each possible outcome "branches" off the main stem, making the final diagram look like a tree with many separating branches.
All the possible outcomes or results is called the sample space
- The outcomes are each different samples, and a sample space is a space that collects each of these samples
When an event is not affected by a previous outcome we have an independent event
- This event is "independent", not affected by other factors, making it an independent event
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
