Elaborations
- • Elaboration identifying the possible outcomes of a chance experiment, creating a tally chart to record results, carrying out a few trials and tallying the results for each trial; responding to the questions: “How did your results vary for each trial?” and “How do the results vary across the class?”
- • Elaboration conducting repeated trials of chance experiments such as tossing a coin, throwing a dice, drawing a coloured or numbered ball from a bag, using a coloured spinner with equal partitions, and identifying the variation in the number of heads/fives/reds between trials
- • Elaboration discussing how the process of conducting repeated chance experiments is crucial in the training of artificial intelligence applications like recommendation systems; for example, if they were building a recommendation system for an online shopping website, they could conduct repeated experiments by tracking user interactions over time
