== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Probability''' β A measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). * '''Sample Space ($S$)''' β The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. * '''Event ($E$)''' β A subset of the sample space (e.g., "Rolling an even number"). * '''Independent Events''' β Events where the outcome of one does not affect the other (e.g., two coin flips). * '''Dependent Events''' β Events where the outcome of one affects the likelihood of the other (e.g., drawing cards without replacement). * '''Conditional Probability''' β The probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred ($P(A|B)$). * '''Bayes' Theorem''' β A formula that describes how to update the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence becomes available. * '''Random Variable''' β A variable whose value is determined by the outcome of a random experiment. * '''Mean (Expected Value)''' β The "Average" outcome if an experiment is repeated infinitely. * '''Variance / Standard Deviation''' β Measures of how "spread out" the outcomes are from the mean. * '''Normal Distribution (Bell Curve)''' β A common probability distribution where most outcomes cluster around the center. * '''Law of Large Numbers''' β The principle that as a sample size grows, its mean gets closer to the average of the whole population. * '''Central Limit Theorem''' β The amazing fact that the sum of many independent random variables tends toward a normal distribution, regardless of the original distribution. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
