Knowledge
Students know:
- how the sample space is used to find the probability of compound events.
- A compound event consists of two or more simple events.
- A sample space is a list of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
- how to make an organized list.
- how to create a tree diagram.
Skills
Students are able to:
- find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams and simulations
- Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams.
- For an event described in everyday language (e.g., "rolling double sixes"), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
- Design a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.
- Use a designed simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.
- A compound event can be simulated using an experiment.
