| Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?

Sample Space, Basics of Probability |
| Conditional Probability and the Rules of Probability | eTAP Lesson |
| Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data | |
| Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events ("or," "and," "not").
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.A.1 |
Multiple Events |
| None | |
| Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.A.2 |
Binomial Distributions |
| Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data | |
| Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.A.3 |
Conditional Probability |
| Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities. For example, collect data from a random sample of students in your school on their favorite subject among math, science, and English. Estimate the probability that a randomly selected student from your school will favor science given that the student is in tenth grade. Do the same for other subjects and compare the results.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.A.4 |
Normal Distributions |
| Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday situations. For example, compare the chance of having lung cancer if you are a smoker with the chance of being a smoker if you have lung cancer.

CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.B.7 |
Geometric Probability |
| Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.

Expected Value |
| Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which theoretical probabilities can be calculated; find the expected value. For example, find the theoretical probability distribution for the number of correct answers obtained by guessing on all five questions of a multiple-choice test where each question has four choices, and find the expected grade under various grading schemes.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.MD.A.3 |
Dependent & Independent Variables |
| Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. For example, find a current data distribution on the number of TV sets per household in the United States, and calculate the expected number of sets per household. How many TV sets would you expect to find in 100 randomly selected households?
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.MD.A.4 |
Discrete Probability Distribution |
| Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions | |
| Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values. Find the expected payoff for a game of chance. For example, find the expected winnings from a state lottery ticket or a game at a fast-food restaurant.
