Grade 6 - Statistics & Probability
Standard 6.SP.2 - Practice making predictions with word problems.
Included Skills: Stats
Demonstrate understanding of probability by: • determining sample space • differentiating between experimental and theoretical probability • determining the theoretical probability • determining the experimental probability • comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities. • Observe situations relevant to self, family, or community where probabilities are stated and/or used to make decisions. • List the sample space (possible outcomes) for an event (such as the tossing of a coin, rolling of a die with 10 sides, spinning a spinner with five sections, random selection of a classmate for a special activity, or guessing a hidden quantity) and explain the reasoning. • Explain what a probability of 0 for a specific outcome means by providing an example. • Explain what a probability of 1 for a specific outcome means by providing an example. • Explore and describe examples of the use and importance of probability in traditional and modern games of First Nations and Métis peoples. • Predict the likelihood of a specific outcome occurring in a probability experiment by determining the theoretical probability for the outcome and explain the reasoning. • Compare the results of a probability experiment to the expected theoretical probabilities. • Explain how theoretical and experimental probabilities are related. • Critique the statement: "You can determine the sample space for an event by carrying out an experiment."
