Probability
Enduring Understandings:
 The more times an experiment is conducted the
closer the empirical probability of an event occurring
will be to its theoretical probability. This process of
replication ensures simulated probabilities are
consistent with theoretical probabilities.
 Knowing the strategies of the games often makes it
easier to win and will help in understanding how to
use probability in life decisions.
 Understanding probabilities and risk analysis will help
make more sound decisions and predictions in life.
Essential Questions:
 Why should an experiment be replicated and how do
you replicate an experiment?
 How can you gain an increased awareness, (a sixth
sense) of probability in games and in life situations?
 How does understanding the probability of something
happening or not happening help you make predictions
and decisions in real-life situations?
