Determine the theoretical probability of multistage probability experiments (e.g., draw or select a representation of the theoretical probability for a sample space).
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Create/recognize combinations of products/pairings.
    • º E.g., Use at least three different colored counting cubes and determine the number of different pairs that can be created.
    º E.g., Use coins to represent the theoretical probability for a sample space – show rows of two coins each, one with heads face up and one with tails up; each row represents another stage of the experiment.
    º E.g., Use the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game to demonstrate a multi-stage probability experiment (i.e., each round of the game represents a stage [trial] in the experiment).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: probability, sample space, combine, combination, outcome, trial, stage.
  • Understand that sample space is the set of all possible outcomes (combinations) of an experiment.
