_______________ 1. It is primarily concerned with predicting chances, especially the occurrence of an event.
_______________ 2. A graphic organizer that makes use of branching connecting lines to represent a certain
relationship between events.
_______________ 3. It is defined as the product of all the positive integers less than or equal to n.
_______________ 4. The arrangement of objects in a set in order.

order is not important.

_______________ 7. Refers to a subset of the sample space.
_______________ 8. A numerical value that describes the likelihood that an event will occur.
_______________ 9. Another term for random variable.
_______________ 10. A rule that assigns a numerical value or characteristic to an outcome of an experiment.
_______________ 11. It takes on countable number of distinct values.
_______________ 12. Assumes an infinite number of possible values including the decimals between two
counting numbers.
_______________ 13. The set of all values possible for a given random variable.
_______________ 14. Also known as probability mass function, is a table that gives a list of probability values
along with their associated value in the range of a discrete random variable.
_______________ 15. Can be used to represent and solve problems concerning the randomness of an event
in the real world.
