Study Notes
Unit 3 Study Guide
- Probability covers experimental, theoretical, and simulations
- Knowledge checks and new topics are outlined for each day, along with check your understanding sections.
- Key topics include Probability Vocabulary and Diagrams, 1st Quarter Exam Review, Conditional Probability, Mathematical Probability Rules, Counting Techniques, Theoretical Probability, and Simulations
- Extra practice problems are available, often in Google Docs, and solutions are provided.
- Review sheets are provided at the end of each topic.
- Students should finish all Study Guide material, check answers with the key, and ask questions in class or during extra review.
Probability Vocabulary and Diagrams
- Students should learn probability vocabulary.
- Understanding diagrams related to probability is important.
- Tossing a die 20 times is an example activity to practice finding probabilities using the data recorded.
Conditional Probability
- Key calculation is calculating the probability of one event occurring given another event has already occurred.
- Two-way tables are used.
Mathematical Probability Rules
- Includes the Complement Rule, General Addition Rule, and General Multiplication Rule.
- The General Addition Rule is used for calculating the probabilities of one event or another event occurring.
- The General Multiplication Rule helps calculate the probabilities of two or more events occurring in a particular order.
Mutually Exclusive Events
- Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. The probability of both occurring is 0.
- If A and B are mutually exclusive then P(A or B) = P(A)+ P(B).
Independent Events
- When the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event occurring.
- If A and B are independent events then P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B).
Counting Techniques
- Used to determine the number of outcomes in various situations.
- Includes the Fundamental Counting Principle, permutations, and combinations
Simulations
- Used when carrying out experiments is difficult or impractical
- Key steps involved in creating a simulation are: Identify the real-world activity, link activity to random numbers, describe how random numbers are used to conduct a full trial, state the response variable, run several trials, collect and summarize the results, and state the conclusion.
