Access Point #: MAFS.912.S-CP.1.AP.1dArchived Access Point

Describe the complement of events in a sample space. For example: Event A contains soccer players, event B contains football players. The complement of Event B is all players that are not football players.

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Given two sets of objects, determine what is not in the given set from the sample space.
    For example:
    Let B = {1 orange, 1 pineapple, 1 banana, 1 apple}
    Let U = {1 orange, 1 apricot, 1 pineapple, 1 banana, 1 mango, 1 apple, 1 kiwifruit }
    Again, we show in bold all elements in U, but not in B
    Bc , ~B or B’ = {1 apricot, 1 mango, 1 kiwifruit}
Representation:
  • Understand that the compliment is denoted as Bc , ~B or B’
  • Given two sets of objects, the compliment is everything in the sample space outside of the selected set.

Cluster: Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data. (Algebra 2 - Additional 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.
