The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M9P01 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 9.

1. Year 8AC9M8P01recognise that complementary events have a combined probability of one; use this relationship to calculate probabilities in applied contexts
2. 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
3. Year 8AC9M8P03conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations, using digital tools to determine probabilities for compound events, and describe results
4. Year 10AC9M10P01use the language of “if ... then”, “given”, “of”, “knowing that” to describe and interpret situations involving conditional probability
5. Year 10AC9M10P02design and conduct repeated chance experiments and simulations using digital tools to model conditional probability and interpret results
