B. Probability 1. Determine probabilities of events. Event, complementary event, probability of an ● event Multiplication rule for probabilities ● Probability of certain event is 1 and of ● impossible event is 0 Probabilities of event and complementary ● event add up to 1. 2. Determine probability using intuitive, experimental, and theoretical methods (e.g., using model of picking items of different colors from a bag. Given numbers of various types of items in a ● bag, what is the probability that an item of one type will be picked Given data obtained experimentally, what is the ● likely distribution of items in the bag. 3. Explore compound events. 4. Model situations involving probability using simulations (with spinners, dice) and theoretical models. 5. Recognize and understand the connections among the concepts of independent outcomes, picking at random, and fairness.
