The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M6P02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 6.

1. Year 5AC9M5P01list the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely
2. Year 5AC9M5P02conduct repeated chance experiments including those with and without equally likely outcomes, observe and record the results; use frequency to compare outcomes and estimate their likelihoods
3. Year 7AC9M7P01identify the sample space for single-stage events; assign probabilities to the outcomes of these events and predict relative frequencies for related events
4. Year 7AC9M7P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with a large number of trials using digital tools; compare predictions about outcomes with observed results, explaining the differences
