A sequence is an _________ sequence when the first differences are all the same nonzero number.

Arithmetic

A sequence is called an _________ sequence when the differences between consecutive terms are the same. This difference is called the _________ difference.

Arithmetic

Binomial coefficients

When selecting subsets of a larger set in which order is not important, you are finding the number of __________ of n elements taken r at a time.

Combinations

The number of __________ __________ of n objects is given by n!/n1!n2!n3!.....nk!

Distinguishable permutations

When you write the coefficients for a binomial that is raised to a power, you are _________ a _________.

Expanding a binomial

An __________ is any happening for which the result is uncertain, and the possible resilts are called __________.

Experiment Outcomes

If n is a positive integer, then n _________ is defined as n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 ... (n - 1) * n.

Factorial

A sequence is a _________ sequence when the domain of the function consists only of the first n positive integers.

Finite

To find the _________ differences of a sequence, subtract consecutive terms.

First

The __________ __________ __________ states that when there are m1 different ways for one event to occur and m2 different ways for a second event to occur, there are m1 * m2 ways for both events to occur.

Fundamental Counting Principle

A sequence is called a _________ sequence when the ratios of consecutive terms are the same. This ratio is called the _________ ratio.

Geometric Common

If P(E) = 0, then E is an __________ event, and if P(E) = 1, then E is a __________ event.

Impossible Certain

The __________ of an event A is the collection of all outcomes in the sample space that are not in A.

Independent

An _________ _________ is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers.

Infinite sequence

The first step in proving a formula by _________ _________ is to show that the formula is true when n = 1.

PAGE 631 NUMBER 3

An ordering of n elements is called a __________ of the elements.

Permutation

To determine the __________ of an event, you can use the formula P(E) = n(E)/n(S), where n(E) is the number of outcomes in the event and n(S) is the number of outcomes in sample space.

Probability

When you know the nth term of an arithmetic sequence and you know the common difference of the sequence, you can find the (n + 1)th term by using the _________ formula a sub n+1 = a sub n + d
