Cluster:
Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data. [Link to data from simulations or experiments.]

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. *

Cluster:
Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data. [Link to data from simulations or experiments.]

Standard:
Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday situations. *

Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A, and interpret the answer in terms of the model. *

Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model. *

Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
(+) Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model. *

Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
(+) Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems. *

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Introductory; apply counting rules.]

Standard:
(+) Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator). *

Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Introductory; apply counting rules.]

Standard:
(+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game). *

Standard:
Students solve probability problems with finite sample spaces by using the rules for addition, multiplication, and complementation for probability distributions and understand the simplifications that arise with independent events.

Standard:
Students know the definitions of the mean, median, and mode of distribution of data and can compute each of them in particular situations.
