7.SP.7

Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy. (MP.4, MP.7, MP.8)

7.SP.7.aDevelop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes and use the model to determine probabilities of events.7.SP.7.bDevelop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process.
