Terms/

M6D2. Students will use experimental and simple theoretical probability and

understand the nature of sampling. They will also make predictions from

investigations.

a. Predict the probability of a given event through trials/simulations

(experimental probability), and represent the probability as a ratio.

b. Determine, and use a ratio to represent, the theoretical probability of a given

event.

c. Discover that experimental probability approaches theoretical probability when

the number of trials is large.

M7D1. Students will pose questions, collect data, represent and analyze the data,

and interpret results.

M8D1. Students will apply basic concepts of set theory.

a. Demonstrate relationships among sets through use of Venn diagrams.

b. Determine subsets, complements, intersection, and union of sets.

c. Use set notation to denote elements of a set.

M8D2. Students will determine the number of outcomes related to a given event.

a. Use tree diagrams to find the number of outcomes.

b. Apply the addition and multiplication principles of counting.

M8D3. Students will use the basic laws of probability.

a. Find the probability of simple independent events.

b. Find the probability of compound independent events.

M8D4. Students will organize, interpret, and make inferences from statistical data

a. Gather data that can be modeled with a linear function.

b. Estimate and determine a line of best fit from a scatter plot.
