Grade 9 Statistics and Probability Resource.
Lesson Map. Standards. Unit Summary. In Unit 8, seventh-grade students finish the year with their first encounter with probability. They develop their understanding of probability through analyzing experiments, calculating theoretical probabilities, and designing and running their own simulations to model real-world situations (MP.4). Students encounter and use a variety of tools including.
Probability of Compound Events (This video covers material from the book).
Lesson Guide. Have students discuss the Opening question with a partner, and then have a few share their proposed methods. Mathematics. Discuss the Opening question, eliciting from students that since it is not possible to calculate a theoretical probability for this question, it is necessary to survey people and calculate the experimental probability.
The probability of an event is a number from 0 to 1 that measures the chance that an event will occur. In this lesson, we will look into experimental probability and theoretical probability.
Lesson 1 Reteach Probability of Simple Events When tossing a coin, there are two possible outcomes, heads and tails. Suppose you are looking for heads. If the coin lands on heads, this would be a favorable outcome. The chance that some event will happen (in this case, getting heads) is called probability. You can use a ratio to fi nd probability. The probability of an event is a number from 0.
Probability Lessons: This lesson focuses on Probability of Compound Events Thus far, we've studied several probability lessons. If you want to review a few of these lessons before studying compound events, check out the lessons on the fundamental counting principle, independent events, and dependent events. If you are ready, let's move onto finding the probability of compound events.
