S-CP.4 (Mathematics)


Standard Identifier: S-CP.4
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Range: 10–12
Domain: Conditional Probability and the Rules of Probability
Discipline: Statistics and Probability
Conceptual Category: Statistics and Probability

Cluster:
Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data.

Standard:
Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities. For example, collect data from a random sample of students in your school on their favorite subject among math, science, and English. Estimate the probability that a randomly selected student from your school will favor science given that the student is in tenth grade. Do the same for other subjects and compare the results. *
