Unit 7: Probability
Students Will Understand...
... Probability is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur out of all possible outcomes
... Probability is written as a fraction, decimal or percent ranging from 0 - 1
... Theoretical probability is based on what "could" happen while experimental probability (relative frequency) is based on what "did" happen
... You can set up proportions to predict outcomes using theoretical or experimental probability
... The ratio of shaded area to total area is the probability of hitting a target on a geometric model
... The fundamental counting principle can be used to determine the total number of possible outcomes
... Tree diagrams, organized lists, and area models (Punnett squares) can show all possible outcomes
... When outcomes do not affect future outcomes you have independent events
... When outcomes affect future outcomes (not replacing drawn items) you have dependent events
... You can simulate situations with multiple outcomes using spinners, dice, etc.

VocabularyThese are all the vocabulary words we use on a regular basis throughout the unit. These words will not only appear during this unit, but in all units to follow.
Students are expected to know the vocabulary and provide examples. All vocabulary should be in student notebooks.
