Description

Explore the many different ways of communicating compound probability, including tree diagrams, tables, and graphs. Abiding by the simple solution of desired outcome(s) over all outcomes, you'll learn how to find the solution to compound probabilities!

Vocabulary Words

outcome

desired outcome

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Understand Compound Probability. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Use tree diagrams and tables for organizing counting of outcomes for compound events.

Use tables to approximate empirical probability of events.

Compound probability is relating to the likeliness of two independent events occurring.

The likelihood of both events happening depends on the first event and then the second event. Both events must happen in order for the compound event to occur.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is an outcome? How can I calculate the chances of an event occurring? What does a tree diagram show? What is compound probability?

After the Game

How did you use the tree diagram to help you figure out how many possible combinations there were? Which method did you prefer when figuring out probability, the tree method or the chart? Which situation is more likely - flipping three heads in a row or flipping H,T,H in that order?
