Mathematics 7 | Saskatchewan Curriculum

Demonstrate an understanding of theoretical and experimental probabilities for two independent events where the combined sample space has 36 or fewer elements.

[C, ME, PS, R, T]

Indicators for this outcome

(a)	Explain what a probability tells about the situation to which it refers.
(b)	Provide an example of two independent events, such as: spinning a four section spinner and an eight-sided die tossing a coin and rolling a twelve-sided die tossing two coins rolling two dice and explain why they are independent.
(c)	Identify the sample space (all possible outcomes) for each of two independent events using a tree diagram, table, or another graphic organizer.
(d)	Determine the theoretical probability of an outcome involving two independent events.
(e)	Conduct a probability experiment for an outcome involving two independent events, with and without technology, to compare the experimental probability to the theoretical probability.
(f)	Solve a probability problem involving two independent events.
(g)	Explain how theoretical and experimental probabilities are related and why they cannot be assumed to be equal.
(h)	Represent a probability stated as a percent as a fraction or a decimal.
(i)	Represent a probability stated as a fraction or decimal as a percent.
