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.
