Probability: theoretical probabilities

  • Probability

Description

In this unit we build upon the concept of likelihood to work more mathematically with more measurable probability using fraction and decimal representations to both interpret and calculate. We revisit and develop ways to represent and compare probabilities.

Further to developing the basic ideas and foundations of probability, we move towards more abstract measures of likelihood using calculations to assign numerical values to probability. We then revisit the visual models of probability established in the previous unit through the lens of representing and utilising theoretical probability.
