Knowledge
Students know:
- Probability.
- Permutations and Combinations.
- Tree diagrams.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Use a tree diagram or other systematic listing method to determine the number of possible outcomes in an application-based problem.
- Use combinations and permutations to count the number of possible outcomes in an application -based problem.
- Determine the probability of an event.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Solving probability in a discrete setting requires first applying combinatorial reasoning and counting techniques to determine the size of the event of interest.
- Some events consist of a sequence of (or partition into) smaller events that may be independent or dependent.
Vocabulary
- Tree diagrams
- Combinations
- Permutations
- Sample size
- Independent events
- Dependent events
- Mutually exclusive (disjoint) events
