Content description VC2M9P01

Mathematics Version 2.0 / Level 9 / Probability
Content description
list all outcomes for two-step chance experiments both with and without replacement, using lists, tree diagrams, tables or arrays; assign probabilities to outcomes and events
Elaborations
  1. discussing two-step chance experiments, such as the game of heads and tails, describing the different outcomes and their related probabilities 
  2. using systematic methods such as lists or arrays to record outcomes and assign probabilities, such as drawing the names of students from a bag to appoint 2 team leaders
  3. using a tree diagram to represent a three-stage event and assigning probabilities to these events; for example, selecting 3 cards from a deck, assigning the probability of drawing an ace, then a king, then a queen of the same suit, with and without replacing the cards after every draw
  4. assigning probabilities to compound events involving the random selection of people from a given population; for example, selecting 2 names at random from all of the students at a high school and assigning the probability that they are both in Year 9
