Support · Stage 4 · Probability
Support Recognise that probabilities range from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) and that equally likely outcomes have equal probabilities
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
Record the outcomes for chance experiments where the outcomes are not equally likely to occur and assign probabilities to the outcomes using fractions (denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10)

Assign expected probabilities to outcomes in chance experiments with random generators, including digital simulators, and compare the expected probabilities with the observed probabilities after both small and large numbers of trials
