Knowledge
Students know:
- relative frequencies for experimental probabilities become closer to the theoretical probabilities over a large number of trials.
- Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes.
- long-run relative frequencies allow one to approximate the probability of a chance event and vice versa.
Skills
Students are able to:
- approximate the probability of a chance event.
- observe an event's long-run relative frequency.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- real-world outcomes can be simulated using probability models and tools.
Vocabulary
- Experimental probability
- simulation
- Theoretical probability
- Relative frequency
