Cluster:
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Include more complex situations.]

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

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

Standard:
Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events (“or,” “and,” “not”). *

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

Standard:
Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent. *

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

Standard:
Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B. *

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. *

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

Standard:
Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday situations. For example, compare the chance of having lung cancer if you are a smoker with the chance of being a smoker if you have lung cancer. *

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. *
