Proability

UNIT: Probability I. **Learning Objective:** The student will: Find the probability of an event and determine the odds in favor of an event. Use a tree diagram to find sample spaces and probabilities. Use the counting principle to find the number of possible outcomes and find a probability. Find the probability of two independent or two dependent events. Use Venn diagrams to solve problems. Honors additional objective: Find the number of permutations and the number of combinations of a group of items. Find the experimental probability of an event. Make predictions using sampling and probability concepts.
