Task goals
- Calculate a relative frequency (experimental probability) from given trial results, as Favourable trials / Total trials, using sample sizes of 30 or 1000.
- Read a frequency table of trial results and use it to find a relative frequency.
- Compare an experimental probability to a known theoretical probability, and use the term Law of Large Numbers to explain why larger samples tend to be closer to the theoretical value.
- Use an experimental probability (rate) to predict an expected count in a different sample size.
- Work backwards from a stated relative frequency and a sample size to find the raw favourable count.
- Critically evaluate a probability conclusion drawn from a small sample, and combine results from multiple trials into one overall relative frequency.
