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.
Prerequisites
To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:
- The meaning of and how to calculate theoretical probability.
- How to calculate the probability of "AND" and "OR" events.
