List outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and represent probabilities

  • Use the term probability to describe the numerical value that represents the likelihood of an outcome of a chance experiment
  • Recognise that outcomes are described as equally likely when any one outcome has the same chance of occurring as any other outcome
  • Record all outcomes in chance experiments where each outcome is equally likely to occur
  • Represent probabilities of outcomes of chance experiments using fractions
  • Establish that the total of the probabilities of the outcomes of a chance experiment equals one
  • Discuss the imprecise meaning of commonly used chance words including possiblelikely and unlikely
