Probability
Overzicht
An ordinary six sided dice is rolled 300 times and lands on five 120 times. Do you think the dice is fair? That is a real two mark question from a specimen Core paper, and answering it needs three separate ideas: what probability a fair dice gives, how many fives that predicts in 300 rolls, and how far an actual result can drift from a prediction before you should be suspicious. Fifty is expected, 120 was observed, and the gap is far too large to be luck.
You will use the vocabulary of probability and the probability scale, find probabilities from theoretical models and from relative frequency, work with expected frequency, compare experimental data with theoretical probabilities, understand why repeating an experiment gives different outcomes and why a larger sample gives better estimates, build sample spaces for one event and for two successive events, handle mutually exclusive and exhaustive outcomes, use Venn diagrams to work out probabilities, and calculate the probability of independent combined events including with tree diagrams. On the Extension Tier you add the addition rule for mutually exclusive events, the multiplication rule for independent events, and conditional probability.
Doelstellingen
- [Core] understand and use the vocabulary of probability and the probability scale
- [Core] understand and use estimates or measures of probability from theoretical models (including equally likely outcomes), or from relative frequency
- [Core] understand and use expected frequency
- [Core] compare experimental data and theoretical probabilities
- [Core] understand that if an experiment is repeated, this may - and usually will - result in different outcomes
- [Core] understand that increasing sample size generally leads to better estimates of probability and population characteristics
- [Core] understand and use sample spaces for situations where outcomes are single events and for situations where outcomes are two successive events
- [Core] identify different mutually exclusive and exhaustive outcomes and know that the sum of the probabilities of all these outcomes is 1
- [Extension] know and use that for mutually exclusive events A and B P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
- [Core] understand and use Venn diagrams to work out probabilities
- [Core] calculate the probability of independent combined events, including using tree diagrams and other representations
- [Extension] know and use that for independent events A and B P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
- [Extension] calculate conditional probabilities including using tree diagrams and other representations
