an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned- évènement élémentaire / elementary event
- An event consisting of only a single outcome is called an elementary event or an atomic event; that is, it is a singleton set.
- événements incompatibles / mutually exclusive events
- évènement contraire ou complémentaire / complementary event
- évènement certain / absolutely certain event
- évènement impossible / impossible event
- The probability of an impossible event is 0. The probability of an absolutely certain event is 1.
- évènement élémentaire / elementary event
- expérience / experiment or trial
- expérience aléatoire/ random experiment
- fréquence / relative frequency
- intervalle de confiance / confidence interval
- intervalle de fluctuation / prediction interval
- issue / possible outcome
- loi de probabilité / Probability distribution
- loi des grands nombres / law of large numbers (LLN)
- In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value and tends to become closer to the expected value as more trials are performed.
- médiane / median
- moyenne / average, mean
- nuage de points / scatter graph
- univers / sample space
- A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes.
- variable aléatoire centrée réduite / standardized random variable
