identify the sample space for single-stage events; assign probabilities to the outcomes of these events and predict relative frequencies for related events

Elaborations

• AC9M7P01_E1 - discussing the meaning of probability terminology; for example, “probability”, “sample space”, “favourable outcome”, “trial”, “experiment” and “event”
• AC9M7P01_E2 - listing sample spaces for games involving throwing a coin or a dice, spinners, or lucky dip
• AC9M7P01_E3 - 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

Achievement Standard Components

• ASMAT719 - Students list sample spaces for single step experiments, assign probabilities to outcomes and predict relative frequencies for related events.
• ASMAT720 - They conduct repeated single-step chance experiments and run simulations using digital tools, giving reasons for differences between predicted and observed results.
