In this performance task, students consider two scenarios in a card game and conduct an experiment to analyze and compare experimental to theoretical probabilities with different game rules. In doing so, students will calculate probabilities to explore the effect of independent vs. dependent events on the outcomes in the card game.
Key concepts include:
a) conditional probability;
b) dependent and independent events;
c) mutually exclusive events;
d) counting techniques (permutations and combinations); and
e) Law of Large Numbers.
