Description

This worksheet helps students predict outcomes in larger populations using small samples. Through examples like jellybeans and birds, students calculate relative frequencies and scale up results. The resource includes answers and an extension activity to explore how different sample sizes affect predictions.

AC9M6P02 9

Conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials

ACMSP167 8.4

Construct sample spaces for single-step experiments with equally likely outcomes

ACMSP168 8.4

Assign probabilities to the outcomes of events and determine probabilities for events

VC2M6P01 2.0

describe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages; recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0–‍1 or 0%–100%; use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals
