list the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those which are not equally likely

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• discussing what it means for outcomes to be equally likely and comparing the number of possible and equally likely outcomes of chance events; for example, when drawing a card from a standard deck of cards there are \(4\) possible outcomes if you are interested in the suit, \(2\) possible outcomes if you are interested in the colour or \(52\) outcomes if you are interested in the exact card
• discussing how chance experiments that have equally likely outcomes can be referred to as random chance events; for example, if all the names of students in a class are placed in a hat and one is drawn at random, each person has an equally likely chance of being drawn
• commenting on the chance of winning games by considering the number of possible outcomes and the consequent chance of winning
