Common Core Math - HS Statistics and Probability

Lesson Plan

Analyze decisions and strategies using probability

Goals / Objectives

Analyze a real decision by identifying the strategies, uncertain outcomes, probabilities, and payoffs

Use expected value to compare strategies, and recognize when risk or error-cost asymmetry should modify the expected-value choice

Apply conditional probability to evaluate testing decisions, computing P(condition | positive) and explaining the base-rate effect

Analyze a strategic timing decision (pulling the hockey goalie) by comparing each strategy's net effect on the probability of winning

Communicate a probability-based recommendation that states its assumptions and limitations

Standards

HSS.MD.B.7

HSS.MD.B.7: (+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).
