Probability Test Thursday

We will have a test on probability on Thursday. Here are what students need to know for the test. We will go over specific examples in class tomorrow.

1. Be able to look at a survey case and identify the following

                  -the population

                  -the sample

                  - whether a sample is biased or random

                  -Be able to identify biased and non biased questions. 

2. Explain the difference between independent and dependent events.

3. Explain the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.  

4. Be able to define the following:

·      event

·      probability

·      outcome

5. Be able to write probability as a fraction, decimal, percent, and graph it on a number line.

6. Be able to tell that probability is always a value between 0 and 1

7. Be able to determine if the outcome of an event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain.

8. Be able to solve probability of single events and compound events.

9. Be able to create tree diagrams and area models to prove probability.
