Define the probability of related events given a situation of chance.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Given a set of items. Identify items that are in the set and items that are not in the set.
  • Given a set of items, identify the probability of selecting a specific item from the set.
Representation:
  • Match a scenario with its probability.
  • Use a model to identify the probability of a chance event.
  • Understand the value for probability of a chance event ranges between 0 and 1.
  • Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary for: chance event, probability, likelihood, outcome, event, compound event, simple event.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/13 Cluster: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. (Supporting Cluster) : 

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Name Description
MAFS.7.SP.3.5: Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
