Content

Stage 5

Probability A
Describe multistage chance experiments involving independent and dependent events
  • Explain the difference between Loading  and Loading  in experiments involving 2 stages

  • Explain how the Loading  of independent and dependent events differs in relation to replacement

Solve problems for multistage chance experiments
  • Record all possible Loading  for multistage Loading  experiments

  • Determine the probabilities of outcomes for multistage independent events using PA and B=PA×PB, where necessary

  • Determine the probabilities of outcomes for multistage dependent events

  • Associate Loading  with probabilities in multistage chance experiments

Design and use simulations to model and examine situations involving probability
  • Design and conduct a probability Loading , modelling probabilities of events, using digital tools

  • Record and use the results of a probability simulation to predict future events

  • Apply reasoning to evaluate the simulation and its related outcomes
