Mathematics 1.6 Determine probabilities
Achievement criteria
The level of achievement that you reach is decided by the questions that you answer correctly.
Achievement
- Be able to calculate relative frequencies (experimental probabilities) from results of a probability experiment
- Be able to calculate theoretical probabilities from events with equally likely outcomes
Achievement with Merit
- You need to reach Achievement
- Be able to solve probability problems that involve
- a combination of at least two events
- tree diagrams
- conditional probability interpreting information in context.
Achievement with Excellence
- You need to reach Achievement with merit.
- Be able to explore probability situations to solve problems.
- Be able to describe a probability experiment (or simulation) which should be able to be easily carried out and should produce a reasonable estimate for the probability. You need to explain in detail:
- how you would do your experiment
- what tool you would use for your simulation (e.g. dice, coins, spinners etc)
- how the outcomes will be allocated.
- how the results are recorded.
- how many trials to be used and how the probability will be calculated.
- Be able to use a probability tree in a reverse process.
- Be able to make estimates.
- Be able to solve problems that involve interpreting information in context.
- Be able to solve more complex theoretical probability problems.
