7.8 Unit Overview

Students learn about probability as a way to describe the likelihood of unknown events and use simulations to estimate the probability of real-world situations. They use samples to draw conclusions about and compare populations.

Learning goals: Sub-Unit 1: Probability (Lessons 1–8 + Practice Day + Quiz) • Compare probabilities to the results of repeated experiments. • Determine the probability of events by identifying the sample space or designing and using simulations. • Interpret the results from repeated experiments to determine fairness, probability, and the likelihood of events. Sub-Unit 2: Sampling (Lessons 9–15 + Practice Day) • Use measures of center and measures of variability from random samples to draw conclusions about and compare populations. • Explain the purpose of sampling and which methods of obtaining a sample tend to produce representative samples.
