    • experiment
      a repeatable process that gives rise to a number of outcomes
    • event
      a collection of one or more outcomes
    • sample space
      set of all the possible outcomes
    • A U B
      is the probability of A or B
    • A n B
      is the probability of A and B
    • A'
      is the probability of Not A
    • A and B are mutually exclusive
      • venn diagram circles do not overlap
      • P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)
      • P (A n B) = 0
    • A and B are independent
      • one event has no effect on the other
      • P(A n B) = P(A) x P(B)
