Understand and apply long-run relative frequency to approximate probabilities and make predictions about chance events. a. Use data collection or simulation to approximate the probability of a chance event by observing its long-run relative frequency. b. Use a known or estimated probability to evaluate whether the number of outcomes in a given number of simulation trials is reasonable. c. Use visual representations (e.g., bar graphs, circle graphs) to compare and interpret probabilities.
