Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, sample space
tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
a. Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a
compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the
compound event occurs.
b. Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as
organized lists, sample space tables, and tree diagrams. For an event
described in everyday language, identify the outcomes in the sample space
which compose the event. e.g., “rolling double sixes”
c. Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.
e.g., Use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to
the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability
that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood? |
