Support Explore relative frequencies by using a random number generator to repeat a chance experiment a number of times

Resources for the prerequisite content of this dot point: earlier-stage (or earlier sub-level) dot points in the same strand that students usually need first. Use these to fill gaps before or alongside the core lesson.

Prerequisite links are draft mappings generated from the syllabus structure (earlier stage, same strand, closest content). They are being reviewed by teachers. Spot a poor match? Tell us.

Prerequisite dot points

Distinguish between the frequency of an outcome (the number of times it occurs) and the probability of an outcome in a chance experiment

Stage 3 · Chance B Draft mapping

No checked resources on this prerequisite dot point yet.

Use the term frequency to describe the number of times a particular outcome occurs in a chance experiment

Stage 3 · Chance B Draft mapping

No checked resources on this prerequisite dot point yet.

Assign expected probabilities to outcomes in chance experiments with random generators, including digital simulators, and compare the expected probabilities with the observed probabilities after both small and large numbers of trials
