Probability of a Single Event

By the end of this unit, students will:

1. Understand the concept of probability and its role in analyzing uncertain events.
2. Calculate the probability of a single event using the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes.
3. Apply their knowledge to solve simple probability problems.

Curriculum Alignment: 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
