Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on t…

Describe data distributions and use probability models to predict outcomes.

What this standard means

  • Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
  • Apply approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on t… with models and explanation
  • Summarizes data with center and spread measures

How to use the 20 practice sets

| Sets | When to use | | --- | --- | | 1–5 | Intro — explore together, short written items | | 6–10 | Core skills — diagrams and written practice | | 11–15 | Mixed review — explain thinking | | 16–20 | Stretch — word problems and mastery tasks |

Pacing: 10–15 minutes per session.

How to practice

1. Calculate mean, median, and range from data sets 2. Use dot plots and box plots to compare groups 3. List sample space before finding probability

Common mistakes

  • Confusing mean and median
  • Probability greater than 1 or less than 0
  • Ignoring all outcomes in the sample space

Review and practice tests

1. Start Review 1/10 when sets 1–3 feel comfortable. 2. Move up one review level with little help. 3. Use Practice Test 4/10–6/10 for mid-standard checks. 4. Practice Test 10/10 is the mastery bar for 7.SP.C.6.
