Key Concepts

Bernoulli Trial

A Bernoulli trial is a type of experiment or procedure that results in one of two outcomes, commonly referred to as 'success' or 'failure.' This concept is particularly relevant in situations where each individual event (such as answering a true-false question) has the same probability of success, thereby serving as the foundational idea behind processes like the binomial distribution.

Multiplication Rule

The multiplication rule in probability states that for independent events, the probability of all events occurring together is the product of their individual probabilities. This is crucial for calculating the overall likelihood of a sequence of successes in scenarios where each event has a known fixed probability.

Independent Events

Independent events are events in probability theory where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcomes of other events. This concept is essential when dealing with situations in which multiple events occur without influencing one another, allowing for straightforward calculations using the product of their individual probabilities.
