"Use one- and two-way tables, area models, and other representations to find relative frequency, probabilities, and conditional probabilities." "• Calculate, express, or interpret the probability or conditional probability of an event using a data display showing frequencies for a single variable, a two-way table, an area model, or a description of a situation. Infrequently, given a probability, determine an unknown number in a data display showing frequencies for a single variable, a two-way table, or a description of a situation, including using a probability to determine the frequency of an event."

What you'll learn

Define probability and calculate P(E) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes for simple events
Read probabilities directly from two-way frequency tables, bar charts, and circle graphs
Use a given probability to determine an unknown frequency in a data display
Use the complement rule P(not A) = 1 - P(A) to find probabilities efficiently
Apply the addition rule P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) for compound events
