Outcomes

In this lesson you will

• Construct area models to help calculate probabilities.

By the end of this section you should be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the Fundamental Counting Principle and apply it to calculate probabilities of dependent and independent events.
• Determine conditional probability.
• Apply area diagrams and tree diagrams to interpret and determine probabilities of dependent and independent events.
