8.DSP.4: Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs. Understand and use appropriate terminology to describe independent, dependent, complementary, and mutually exclusive events.
8.DSP.5: Represent sample spaces and find probabilities of compound events (independent and dependent) using organized lists, tables, and tree diagrams.
8.DSP.6: For events with a large number of outcomes, understand the use of the multiplication counting principle. Develop the multiplication counting principle and apply it to situations with a large number of outcomes.
8.AF.1: Solve linear equations and inequalities with rational number coefficients fluently, including those whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. Represent real-world problems using linear equations and inequalities in one variable and solve such problems.
8.AF.2: Generate linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Justify the classification given.
AI.L.1: Represent real-world problems using linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including those with rational number coefficients and variables on both sides of the equal sign. Solve them fluently, explaining the process used and justifying the choice of a solution method.
