1. Match the term with the definition.
theoretical probability - the ratio of the number of ways a specific event can occur to the total number of possible outcomes sample space - the known outcomes that are all equally likely to occur independent event - an event where the outcome has no bearing on the outcome of other events dependent event - an event whose probability depends on the outcome of another event mutually exclusive - when two events have no elements in common
