Support Use Venn diagrams to represent the relationship between events within the same sample space, including mutually exclusive events, that is, events that as subsets of the sample space are disjoint
Resources for the prerequisite content of this dot point: earlier-stage (or earlier sub-level) dot points in the same strand that students usually need first. Use these to fill gaps before or alongside the core lesson.
Prerequisite links are draft mappings generated from the syllabus structure (earlier stage, same strand, closest content). They are being reviewed by teachers. Spot a poor match? Tell us.
Prerequisite dot points
Use Venn diagrams, set language and notation for events, including A‾ (or A^' or A^c) for the complement of an event A, A∩B for ' A and B ' (the intersection of events A and B) and A∪B for ' A or B ' (the union of events A and B) and recognise mutually exclusive events
