Benchmarks (5–7)
J.
Compare experimental and theoretical results for a variety of simple experiments.
K.
Make and justify predictions based on experimental and theoretical probabilities.
Benchmarks (8–10)
K.
Make predictions based on theoretical probabilities and experimental results.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 5)
10.
Compare what should happen (theoretical/expected results) with what did happen (experimental/actual results) in a simple experiment.
11.
Make predictions based on experimental and theoretical probabilities.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 7)
8.
Make predictions based on theoretical probabilities, design and conduct an experiment to test the predictions, compare actual results to predicted results, and explain differences.
Grade Level Indicators (Grade 9)
10.
Use theoretical and experimental probability, including simulations or random numbers, to estimate probabilities and to solve problems dealing with uncertainty; e.g., compound events, independent events, simple dependent events.
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics
Data Analysis and Probability Standard
Understand and apply basic concepts of probability
Expectations (6–8)
use proportionality and a basic understanding of probability to make and test conjectures about the results of experiments and simulations;
Expectations (9–12)
use simulations to construct empirical probability distributions;
