* Fractions representing probabilities of events are between 0 (cannot happen) and 1 (certain to happen). * Outcomes for compound events can be found using lists, tree diagrams, or the fundamental counting principle. |
* List possible outcomes for compound events using tree diagrams, lists, and graphs. * Convert probabilities into equivalent forms using multiple representations (fractions, decimals and percents) |
