Overall Expectations WA30.11 Extend and apply understanding of probability. [C, CN, PS, R] Specific Expectations Research and present orally, in writing, or using multimedia, applications of probability (e.g., medication, warranties, insurance, lotteries, weather prediction, 100-year flood, failure of a design, failure of a product, vehicle recalls, approximation of area). Calculate the probability of an event based on a data set, (e.g., determine the probability of a randomly chosen light bulb being defective). Express given probabilities as fractions, decimals, percentages, and using words. Analyze, generalize, and compare odds and probability including part-whole and part-part relationships. Determine the probability of an event, given the odds for or against. Explain, using examples, how decisions may be based on a combination of theoretical probability calculations, results of experimental probability, and subjective judgments. Solve situational questions that involve probability |
