  • Interpret experimental and theoretical probabilities and the relationship between them;
  • Distinguish between equally likely and non-equally likely outcomes;
  • Review strategies for identifying possible outcomes and analyzing probabilities, such as using lists or counting trees;
  • Determine if a game is fair or unfair;
  • Analyze probabilistic situations that involve two-stages (or two actions);
  • Use area models to analyze situations that involve two stages;
  • Determine the expected value of a probability situation;
  • Analyze binomial situations; and
  • Use probability and expected value to make decisions.
