Probability Simulations NOTES & PRACTICE

This resource was developed to meet the requirements of the 7th Grade Statistics & Probability Standard below:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.C.8.C
Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. For example, use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?

This resource contains the following items:
