Simulate Compound Events To Estimate Probability
Standard(s): 7.SP.C.8.C
If 20% of applicants for a job are female, what is the probability that the first two applicants will be male?
64%
80%
60%
52%
Standard: 7.SP.C.8.C
Domain: Statistics & Probability
Theme: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models
Description: Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?
If you want to simulate a random selection from a large population that is 40% adult and 60% children, how can you use slips of paper to do so?
Make 5 slips of paper, 2 for adults and 3 for children. Randomly select slips of paper from the 5 to represent the choice of someone from the population.
Make 2 slips of paper, 1 for adults and 1 for children. Randomly select slips of paper from the 2 to represent the choice of someone from the population.
Make 100 slips of paper, 50 for adults and 50 for children. Randomly select slips of paper from the 100 to represent the choice of someone from the population.
Make 3 slips of paper, 1 for adults and 2 for children. Randomly select slips of paper from the 3 to represent the choice of someone from the population.

Sally has to choose a pair of pants and a pair of shoes to wear to her club meeting. She can’t remember what she wore last time. She has 3 pairs of pants and 5 pairs of shoes to choose from. What is the probability that she will wear the same combination that she wore last time?
