Priority Standard: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.
7. Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events.
Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the
agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
a.Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal
probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at
random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected
and the probability that a girl will be selected.
b.Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by
observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process.
For example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny
will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end
down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally
likely based on the observed frequencies.
