Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and
B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the
conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability
of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the
probability of B.

Modeling Conditional Probabilities 1: Lucky Dip | This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to understand conditional probability, represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams, and communicate their reasoning clearly. |
Modeling Conditional Probabilities 2 | This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students understand conditional probability, and, in particular, to help you identify and assist students who have the following difficulties representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams and understanding when conditional probabilities are equal for particular and general situations. |
Medical Testing | This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:
- make sense of a real life situation and decide what math to apply to the problem
- understand and calculate the conditional probability of an event A, given an event B, and interpret the answer in terms of a model
- represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams
- interpret the results and communicate their reasoning clearly
