Unit 9: Probability
Class: Accelerated Math Grade: 7 Days in Unit: 10
Objective:
Determine outcomes of experiments.
Predict if outcomes are likely or unlikely.
Predict if experiments are fair or unfair.
Determine, compare, and make predictions based on experimental or theoretical probability of independent or dependent events.
