Year 8 - Statistics & Probability
Standard 8.SP.1.1 - Determine the probability of opposite and overlapping events.
Included Skills: Stats
Chance • Identify complementary events and use the sum of probabilities to solve problems - identifying the complement of familiar events - understanding that probabilities range between 0 to 1 and that calculating the probability of an event allows the probability of its complement to be found • Describe events using language of 'at least', exclusive 'or' (A or B but not both), inclusive 'or' (A or B or both) and 'and'. - posing 'and', 'or' and 'not' probability questions about objects or people • Represent events in two-way tables and Venn diagrams and solve related problems - using Venn diagrams and two-way tables to calculate probabilities for events, satisfying 'and', 'or' and 'not' conditions - understanding that representing data in Venn diagrams or two-way tables facilitates the calculation of probabilities - collecting data to answer the questions using Venn diagrams or two-way tables
