Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 09-12 - Algebra I with Probability

MA19.A1.38

Explain whether two events, A and B, are independent, using two-way tables or tree diagrams.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

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

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Interpret the given information in the problem.
  • Accurately determine the probability of simple and compound events.
  • Accurately calculate the product of the probabilities of two events.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Events are independent if one occurring does not affect the probability of the other occurring, and that this may be demonstrated mathematically by showing the truth of P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B).

Vocabulary

  • Independent
  • Probability
  • Tree diagram
