Level 4 · Mathematics M4.6
Probability
Work out the chances of one or more events, and use tables, trees and diagrams to keep track.
List the outcomes of two events in a table and find a probability from it. Estimate a probability from an experiment, and use the OR rule and the AND rule. Draw tree diagrams, with and without putting back, and use Venn diagrams, sets and two way tables to find the chance of one event given another. End with counting choices.

For parents and teachers
For learners who can find the probability of an event when the outcomes are equally likely, such as rolling an even number on a dice. In many schools this fits teenagers of about 14 to 16, and adults who want to refresh chance, trees and sets can start here too. Each chapter takes one or two sessions. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
