This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: This is a game for two people. You have three dice; one is red, one is green, and one is blue. These dice are different than regular six-sided dice, wh...

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the theoretical probability that the first number that comes up is greater than or equal to the second nu...

In this lesson, students will continue to apply their understanding of compound independent events. They will calculate probabilities and represent sample spaces with visual representations.

Given a description of a chance experiment that can be thought of as being performed in two or more stages, students use tree diagrams to organize and represent the outcomes in the sample space. Students calculate probabilities of compound events.

As the standards in statistics and probability unfold, students will not yet know the rules of probability for compound events. Thus, simulation is used to find an approximate answer to these questions. In fact, part b would be a challenge to students who do know the rules of probability, further illustrating the power of simulation to provide relatively easy approximate answers to wide-ranging problems.
