Cluster - Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.

[7.SP.C.6] - Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.

Resources:


  • Probability
    A number between 0 and 1 used to quantify likelihood for processes that have uncertain outcomes (such as tossing a coin, selecting a person at random from a group of people, tossing a ball at a target, testing for a medical condition).
  • Relative frequency
    The empirical counterpart of probability. If an event occurs N' times in N trials, its relative frequency is N'∕N.

Successor Standards:

  • AII.S-IC.A.2
    Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of five tails in a row cause you to question the model?
  • MIII.S-IC.A.2
    Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation.* For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of five tails in a row cause you to question the model?

Same Level Standards:

  • 7.SP.C.5
    Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around ½ indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
  • 7.SP.C.7
    Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
