AC9M5P01

Probability > Language

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

List the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely.

What this means

Think about the possibilities and make predictions before trying chance experiments and try to list them systematically.

  • Students may show outcomes with physical materials such as the outcome of flipping two coins. These could then be recorded as HH, HT/TH or TT.

Tip

  • Do AC9M5P01 and AC9M5P02 together.
