Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Methods to find probability of simple and compound events.
  • Techniques to find conditional probability.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Accurately determine the probability of simple and compound events.
  • Accurately determine the conditional probability P(A given B) from a sample space or from the knowledge of P(A&B) and the P(B).

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • The independence of two events is determined by the effect that one event has on the outcome of another event.
  • The occurrence of one event may or may not influence the likelihood that another event occurs.
