The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M7P02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 7.

1. Year 6AC9M6P01recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0 – 1 or 0% – 100% and use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals
2. Year 6AC9M6P02conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
3. Year 8AC9M8P01recognise that complementary events have a combined probability of one; use this relationship to calculate probabilities in applied contexts
4. Year 8AC9M8P02determine all possible combinations for 2 events, using two-way tables, tree diagrams and Venn diagrams, and use these to determine probabilities of specific outcomes in practical situations
5. Year 8AC9M8P03conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations, using digital tools to determine probabilities for compound events, and describe results
