Students will be able to

• recall the necessary terminology of probability, including sample space, event, and experiment, and what it means to make an inference,
• recognize that a probability can be given as a fraction, decimal, or percent,
• calculate the probability of a simple event given the number of occurrences of a desired event divided by the total number of outcomes,
• determine, from a frequency table, the number of occurrences of a desired event and the total number of outcomes, in order to find the probability of that event,
• given a context, determine the number of occurrences of a desired event and the total number of events in order to find the probability of that event.
