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.
