7.SP.C.8. Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.

• Red, Green, or Blue?
• Rolling Twice
• Waiting Times

7.SP.C.8.a. 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.

• Sitting across from Each Other
• Tetrahedral Dice

7.SP.C.8.b. Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.

• Sitting across from Each Other
• Tetrahedral Dice

7.SP.C.8.c. Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?
