Unit 2: Probability

Unit 2 Learning Targets:

• I can determine the sample space for a given experiment using tree diagrams, tables or pictorial representations.
• I can determine the probability of an event and represent it as a fraction, decimal and percent.
• I can perform experiments for situations when the probabilities are known and compare the results.
• I can calculate experimental probabilities from experiments and use the results to make predictions.

MN State Standards*:

• 6.4.1.1 Determine the sample space (set of possible outcomes) for a given experiment and determine which members of the sample space are related to certain events. Sample space may be determined by the use of tree diagrams, tables or pictorial representations.
• 6.4.1.2 Determine the probability of an event using the ratio between the size of the event and the size of the sample space; represent probabilities as percents, fractions and decimals between 0 and 1 inclusive. Understand that probabilities measure likelihood.
• 6.4.1.3 Perform experiments for situations in which the probabilities are known, compare the resulting relative frequencies with the known probabilities; know their may be differences.
• 6.4.1.4 Calculate experimental probabilities from experiments; represent them as percents, fractions and decimals between 0 and 1 inclusive. Use experimental probabilities to make predictions when actual probabilities are unknown.
