Unit 9 Probability (Post March) Grade 6

Prerequisites

5.S.5 List the possible outcomes for a single-event experiment

5.S.6 Record experiment results using fractions/ratios

5.S.7 Create a sample space and determine the probability of a single event, given a simple experiment (e.g., rolling a number cube)

NYS Content Standards

6.S.9 List possible outcomes for compound events

6.S.11 Determine the number of possible outcomes for a compound event by using the fundamental counting principle and use this to determine the probabilities of events when the outcomes have equal probability+

Probability notation

P (event) =

* 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)
