Description
Students practice computing conditional probabilities in this self-checking maze activity. Students use contextual interpretation and probability notation to solve problems on conditional probability using data presented in two-way tables and Venn diagrams. Students follow a maze to the finish line by correctly answering the questions. Possible paths provide an answer bank and an opportunity for self-checking.
This fun twist on worksheets engages students by allowing them to independently play a maze game as they reinforce conditional probability concepts. This maze activity is great for subs, independent work, early finishers, exam review, and extra practice.
Answer key included!
Objectives:
1) Practice using the concept that conditional probability of A given B is P(A and B)/P(B).
2) Practice constructing two-way tables and using the tables to approximate conditional probabilities.
3) Practice recognizing and explaining the concept of conditional probability in everyday language and everyday situations.
4) Practice using Venn diagrams to describe events as subsets of a sample space (set of outcomes) as unions, intersections or complements of other events.
5) Practice finding the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A; interpret the answer in terms of a model.
Common Core Standards:
HSS.CP.A.3: Understand conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B) and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional prob of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B
HSS.CP.A.4: Construct and interpret 2-way frequency tables of data when 2 categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the 2-way table as a sample space to approximate conditional probabilities.
HSS.CP.A.5: Recognize and explain the concept of conditional probability in everyday language and situations.
HSS.CP.B.6: Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A; interpret the answer in terms of a model
