Statistics and Probability (Chance & Uncertainty)

//It is expected that students will://
 * **Prescribed Learning Outcomes**

D4. demonstrate an understanding of the role of probability in society [C, CN, R, T] ||
 * **Planning for Assessment** || **Assessment Strategies** ||
 * Students will:


 * Be aware that when you see patterns you are able to make predictions as to the type of outcome that will result from a particular data set
 * Be able to calculate probability based upon a box of Smarties
 * Students will determine the number of each coloured Smartie in their box - based upon their findings a class set of data will be generated
 * Students will then be given another box of Smarties from which they will be able to answer questions like: 1. What is the probability that the first Smartie you take out is red? 2. What is the probabilty that the first two Smarties you take out of the box are red? 3. What is the probability that the first three Smarties are green?
 * Work in groups to analyze case studies from which they will be able to calculate and explain probable outcomes || * __Formative Assessment__: (Smarties) Ability to predict the probability of colours in an unopened box of Smarties
 * __Summative Assessment__: (Posters - Group) Ability to predict and explain outcomes from case studies on posters that are shared with the class. Criteria: correctly calculate and predict realistic outcomes using probability ||
