What's this Unit About?
BIG IDEA: Students should be able to use probability to make fair decisions and analyze decisions making and strategies using probability concepts Unit Summary: In this unit students will obtain data that either they did or obtained and they will learn how to interpret it and apply knowledge of probability to justify conclusions. Students will learn about sample space, independent and dependent variables. Student will look at different examples of probability that will explain and give reasoning regarding conclusions. At the end of the unit, students will demonstrate understanding through a group project and an end of unit exam. Student Learning Objects:
