Probability
Calculate theoretical and experimental probability, use Venn diagrams, and apply complementary event rules.

Sub-topics
Sample space
List and count all possible outcomes in a sample space for single and multi-stage experiments, and apply the multiplication principle.
Theoretical probability
Calculate the theoretical probability of events in equally-likely outcome spaces, including combined and complementary events.
Experimental probability
Calculate relative frequencies from experiments, compare experimental and theoretical probability, and predict expected frequencies from experimental data.
Complementary events
Use the complementary event rule P(A') = 1 - P(A) to find probabilities, including problems where using the complement is the most efficient method.
Venn diagrams
Use Venn diagrams to find probabilities for intersecting events, apply the addition rule P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), and solve problems involving two overlapping events.
