Overview

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to create a tree diagram to identify the probability of a particular event occurring. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

    Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 7

    MA19.7.16

    Find probabilities of simple and compound events through experimentation or simulation and by analyzing the sample space, representing the probabilities as percents, decimals, or fractions.

    Unpacked Content

    UP:MA19.7.16

    Vocabulary

    • Tree diagram
    • Compound probability
    • Simulation
    • Sample space
    • Event

    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.
