Represent Outcomes for Compound Events
(A) Represent sample spaces for simple and compound events using lists and tree diagrams
7.SP.8 Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
7.SP.8.A7.SP.8.A Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.
7.SP.8.B7.SP.8.B Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., "rolling double sixes"), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on representing outcomes for compound events. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify the desired outcome.
