Combined events

Situations where two or more events occur together, and their probabilities are considered.

2

Mutually exclusive events

Events that cannot happen at the same time. For example, rolling a 3 and a 4 on a single die.

3

Probability of mutually exclusive events

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

4

Independent events

Events where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.

5

Probability of independent events

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B)

6

Tree diagram

A diagram used to show all possible outcomes of combined events and their probabilities.

7

Two-way table

A table used to organise and calculate probabilities for combined events.

8

Venn diagram

A diagram that shows the relationships between different sets of events, including overlaps.

9

Conditional probability

The probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred.

10

Sum of probabilities

The total probability of all possible outcomes of an event is always 1.
