4. Mathematical Practices
Statistics and Probability
7.SP.8 Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
7.SP.8a Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.
Mathematical Practices
1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4 Model with mathematics.
