- probability distributionA distribution of all possible values of a random variable together with an indication of their probabilities.
- probability theoryThe mathematical study of probability (the likelihood of occurrence of random events in order to predict the behavior of defined systems).
- probability densityprobability density function
- conditional probabilityThe probability that an event will take place given the restrictive assumption that another event has taken place, or that a combination of other events has taken place. (Mathematically, the definition would be that the conditional …

- in all probabilityVery probably; almost certainly.
- balance of probabilityAlternative form of balance of probabilities: A legal standard, applied in many jurisdictions for deciding the outcome of civil disputes, which requires that a dispute be decided in favor of the party whose claims are more likely to be …
- joint probabilityThe probability distribution of a random variable whose sample space is the Cartesian product of the sample spaces of its (at least two) component random variables.
- probability measureA mathematical measure on a probability space that can take on values between 0 and 1, with 0 corresponding to the empty set and 1 to the entire space.
- probability spaceA measurable space having a unit measure
- conditional probability distributionThe probability distribution of a random variable given the known outcome of another random variable.
- experimental probabilityThe probability that a certain outcome will occur, as determined through experiment.
- theoretical probabilitythe probability that a certain outcome will occur, as determined through reasoning or calculation.
- prior probabilityThe probability of an event obtained without the knowledge of occurrence of other events that bear on it.
- probability boxA quantitative characterization of an imperfectly known probability distribution.
- probability measuresplural of probability measure: A mathematical measure on a probability space that can take on values between 0 and 1, with 0 corresponding to the empty set and 1 to the entire space.
- probability spacesplural of probability space: A measurable space having a unit measure
- probability amplitudeA complex number which is the coefficient of a component of a quantum state and whose product with its own complex conjugate gives the probability that the state will collapse to that component (when measured). (Note: the quantum state …
- probability paperGraph paper with vertical and horizontal rules, the latter spaced evenly and the former according to a scale that allows a plotted probability curve — usually that of a normal distribution — to appear linear.
- probability density functionsplural of probability density function: Any function whose integral over a set gives the probability that a random variable has a value in that set.
- probability mass functionA function that gives the relative probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value.
- quasi-probabilityA concept introduced in order to apply quantum corrections to classical statistical mechanics
- probability-generating functionThe generating function created from the probability mass function of a discrete random variable.
- posterior probabilityThe probability of an event given the knowledge of occurrence of other events that bear on it: P( A | B ) as contrasted to P( A ), where A is the sought event and B is the sign or symptom event.
