Students will be expected to 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 • Performance Indicators - SP04.01 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 - SP04.02 Determine the theoretical probability of an outcome occurring for a given probability experiment. - SP04.03 Predict the probability of a given outcome occurring for a given probability experiment by using theoretical probability. - SP04.04 Conduct a probability experiment, with or without technology, and compare the experimental results to the theoretical probability. - SP04.05 Explain that as the number of trials in a probability experiment increases, the experimental probability approaches the theoretical probability of a particular outcome. - SP04.06 Distinguish between theoretical probability and experimental probability, and explain the differences.
