Sample Space Lists WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 7th Grade
CCSS: 7.SP.C.8.B
CCSS Description: Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation. a. Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs. b. Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event. c. 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?

Sample Space Lists WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet will guide your students through listing all outcomes using a systematic method.

Kicking off with section A, students will list all the possible outcomes of three single events. Next, in section B, students will use tables provided to list all the possible outcomes for another three events. Events include choosing a main course and a dessert from a menu and tossing three coins. Students will do the same in section C but this time, there are no tables pre drawn. Lastly, in section D, learners will find the probability of different outcomes. Learners may need to consider listing the outcomes beforehand.

Students can use the product rule for counting to check they have the correct amount of outcomes listed.
