Checks for Understanding (Formative/Summative Assessment)

0606.5.1	Probability - Understand that the probability of an event is a number between zero and one that expresses the likelihood of its occurrence.
0606.5.2	Ratio - Identify the probability of an event as the ratio of the number of its actual occurrences to the total number of its possible occurrences.
0606.5.3	Expressing - Express probabilities in different ways.
0606.5.4	Odds - Understand the difference between probability and odds.
0606.5.5	Situations - Analyze a situation that involves probability of an independent event.
0606.5.6	Estimate - Estimate the probability of simple and compound events through experimentation or simulation.
0606.5.7	Calculate - Apply procedures to calculate the probability of complimentary events.
0606.5.8	Graphical - Connect data sets and their graphical representations (such as bar graphs, circle, graphs, and stem-and-leaf plots).
0606.5.9	Sample Space - Determine the sample space for a given situation.
0606.5.10	Random - Distinguish between a random and nonrandom sample.
0606.5.11	Center - Select the appropriate measure of center to describe a data set.
0606.5.12	Population - Predict the characteristics of a population based on the analysis of sample data.
State Performance Indicators
SPI 0606.5.1	Theoretical - Determine the theoretical probability of simple and compound events in familiar contexts.
SPI 0606.5.2	Misleading - Identify features of graphs that may be misleading.
SPI 0606.5.3	Biased - Determine whether or not a sample is biased.
