Master the basics of probability by learning how to calculate the likelihood of an event. This lesson helps students analyze uncertain events and solve simple probability problems with ease.
Understand the concept of probability and its role in analyzing uncertain events.
Calculate the probability of a single event using the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes.
Apply their knowledge to solve simple probability problems.

Key Stage 4: Probability
record, describe and analyse the frequency of outcomes of simple probability experiments involving randomness, fairness, equally and unequally likely outcomes, using appropriate language and the 0-1 probability scale
understand that the probabilities of all possible outcomes sum to 1
enumerate sets and unions/intersections of sets systematically, using tables, grids and Venn diagrams
generate theoretical sample spaces for single and combined events with equally likely, mutually exclusive outcomes and use these to calculate theoretical probabilities
