16
Q
  • the likelihood of an event occurring

- number of SUCCESSFUL outcomes : TOTAL number of outcomes possible

A

probability

17
Q

number of SUCCESSFUL outcomes possible : number of UNSUCCESSFUL outcomes possible

A

odds

18
Q

can the words “odds” and “probability” be used interchangeably?

A

NO!

19
Q

what actually happens when you test something and the results are recorded

A

Experimental Probability

20
Q

what is likely to happen in theory

A

theoretically probability

21
Q

how can you provide opportunities for children to really grasp the concept of probability?

A
  • games
  • real life like experiments so the student can experience probability in action
  • EXAMPLE: rolling a die and recording the score multiple times can lead to rich discussion of probable outcomes
22
Q
  • probability of some 2nd event occurring given that a 1st event that affects it has already occurred
  • described as P(B|A)
  • P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B|A)
A

conditional probability

23
Q

-occurs when the outcome of 1 event affects the out come of the 2nd event

A

dependent events

24
Q

how do you calculate the probability of two independent events both happening?

A

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

25
Q
  • occurrs when 2 or more simple events are preformed together so that 1 event happens and so does another
  • IE: rolling a pair of dice because each die roll is an individual event and doesn’t influence each other
A

compound event

26
Q

independent event

A

simple events

27
Q

1) determine if the events are mutually exclusive
1) if they are mutually exclusive then add the prob. of each successful event
2) if they aren’t mutually exclusive then they’re mutually inclusive
2) if mutually inclusive you add the probability of each successful event and subtract out the probability that both events occurred

A

how to answer a probability question with the word “or” in the prompt:

28
Q

-events that can’t take place at the same time as each other

A

mutually exclusive

29
Q

-events that can take place at the same time

A

mutually inclusive

30
Q
  • order doesn’t matter

- assesses how many groups can be formed

A

combinations

31
Q

assess how many unique lists can be created

A

permutations
