Step 6 Objective
Estimate probabilities from experimental data; understand that:
- if an experiment is repeated, there will be different outcomes;
- increasing the number of times an experiment is repeated generally leads to better estimates of probability.
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions
- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do
Given a table of results, use this table to estimate probabilities.
Shown two tables with equivalent outcomes and different frequencies decide whether they represent the same experiment or not.
