identify the sample space for single-stage events; assign probabilities to the outcomes of these events and predict relative frequencies for related events (AC9M7P01)
Elaborations
- discussing the meaning of probability terminology; for example, “probability”, “sample space”, “favourable outcome”, “trial”, “experiment” and “event”
- listing sample spaces for games involving throwing a coin or a dice, spinners, or lucky dip
- exploring how relative frequencies can be used to make predictions by estimating the probability of an event; for example, in natural language processing (NLP), predictive text algorithms use the relative frequency of words in a set of texts to predict the next word in a sentence
- assigning the probability for throwing a \(6\) on a dice and using this to predict the number of times a \(6\) will occur when a dice is thrown multiple times
