calculate relative frequencies from given or collected data to estimate probabilities of events involving “and”, inclusive “or” and exclusive “or” (AC9M9P02)

Elaborations
  • understanding that relative frequencies from large data sets or long-run experiments can provide reliable measures of probability and can be used to make predictions of decisions
  • using Venn diagrams or two-way tables to estimate frequencies of events involving “and”, “or” questions
  • designing, testing and refining an algorithm used to determine relative frequencies from a generated data set, to estimate different probabilities
General capabilities
  • Numeracy Numeracy
