Understanding that true randomness is difficult to achieve without a computer or other randomizing device; Understand that probability is a tool used to measure how often random events occur; Understand the differences between theoretical and empirical probabilities and the need for both; Understand the rationale behind each of the probability rules used in the section; Understand the following terms: complement of a set, sample space, event, equally likely, mutually exclusive; Understand the use of the words and and or in the mathematical sense. Understand conditional probability and when it should be used; Understand the difference between mutually exclusive and independent events. Give an accurate definition of randomness as used in statistics; Given a description of a probability, determine whether it is an empirical or theoretical probability; Explain what a simulation is and why we conduct them. Compute and interpret an appropriate probability to answer a probability question, make decisions, and justify conclusions;
