Tick to track on this device. Saved here only — your teacher does not see it.
- Understand experimental and theoretical probability and express results as fractions, decimals or percentages.
- Use compound events with tree diagrams (with and without replacement) and two-way tables.
- Calculate the probability of unions using $P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$.
Conditional Probability and Independence
0 / 5 ticked
Tick to track on this device. Saved here only — your teacher does not see it.
- Understand and calculate conditional probability using $P(B \mid A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$.
- Identify and test for mutually exclusive events ($P(A \cap B) = 0$).
- Identify and test for independent events ($P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$).
- Solve problems combining Venn diagrams, tree diagrams and conditional probability.
- Understand factorial notation, permutations and combinations.ENR
