Answer 1

factor: a number that is being multiplied with another number. That is, if you have the expression a*b, a and b are both factors of the number a*b, which is the product. This also applies to other expressions such as polynomials or matrices; anything that can be multiplied. For example, x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1); we say that x+1 and x-1 are the factors of x^2-1.

Independent events: two events A and B are independent if P(A and B)=P(A)P(B). The outcomes of independent events do not depend on one another.

Dependent events: events that are not independent. Example: Suppose A is the event of flipping a coin and having it turn up heads, and B is the event that the coin is flipped 3 times and it comes up heads at least once. Events A and B are dependent, because the outcome of B depends on the outcome of A. Also, p(A)=1/2 and p(B)=7/8, but p(A and B)=1/2.

Standard notation: as opposed to scientific notation, for writing numbers. For example, if you have the number 567.402, that is standard notation, but in scientific notation, it's 5.67402 x 10^2.

Answer 2

Your math book should have a glossary

A factor is something that goes into something else evenly. 5 is a factor of 95

Independent events have nothing to do with one another. Dependent events do. If you are throwing a die and spinning a spinner, they are independent. If you draw a card from a deck and DO NOT PUT IT BACK before drawing another card, the second event is dependent on the first.

Standard notation in just the number

Answer 3

"A fact which is always or" is called as a fact(or).
An event which is not dependent on any other event is known as independent event.
An event which is dependent on some other event is known as dependent event.
The notation which is used in a standard way is known as standard notation.
"Than" which has a suffix "ks" is called as "Thanks"
