Investigate a situation involving elements of chance
Investigate a situation involving elements of chance
This standard asks you to investigate a real-world situation that involves chance or randomness (like rolling dice, sampling students, or testing a prediction about random events). You'll need to run an experiment, collect data, display your results, and compare what actually happened to what the maths predicted would happen.
You carry out an experiment involving chance, collect data, display it, and describe what you found without necessarily linking it back to the original question.
You connect your findings to the question you asked, support your conclusions with evidence (like statistics or trends from your displays), and justify why your results make sense.
You show deep understanding by bringing in outside knowledge about probability and the context, considering how other factors might affect results, and integrating all of this into your conclusions.
