Included Skills: Stats
Demonstrate an understanding of probability by: • identifying all possible outcomes of a probability experiment • differentiating between experimental and theoretical probability • determining the theoretical probability of outcomes in a probability experiment • determining the experimental probability of outcomes in a probability experiment • comparing experimental results with the theoretical probability for an experiment. • Achievement Indicators: - 6SP4.1 List the possible outcomes of a probability experiment, such as: • tossing a coin • rolling a die with a given number of sides • spinning a spinner with a given number of sectors. - 6SP4.2 Determine the theoretical probability of an outcome occurring for a given probability experiment. - 6SP4.3 Predict the probability of a given outcome occurring for a given probability experiment by using theoretical probability. - 6SP4.4 Distinguish between theoretical probability and experimental probability, and explain the differences. - 6SP4.5 Conduct a probability experiment, with or without technology, and compare the experimental results with the theoretical probability. - 6SP4.6 Explain that as the number of trials in a probability experiment increases, the experimental probability approaches theoretical probability of a particular outcome.
