GCSE Mathematics — Probability

Led by Pierre de Fermat Simulacrum

The eighth module of the OCR GCSE Mathematics course — probability scales, sample spaces, combined events, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams and conditional probability. Hosted by Pierre de Fermat Simulacrum.

1. Module 1

   Basic Probability and Sample Spaces

   Led by Pierre de Fermat Simulacrum

   The question

   The probability scale (0 to 1), calculating theoretical probability from sample spaces and equally likely outcomes, relative frequency from experimental data, the complement rule P(not A) = 1 − P(A), and the addition rule for mutually exclusive events.

   Outcome

   The student can calculate probabilities from sample spaces, estimate from relative frequency, and apply complement and addition rules. (Probability foundations)

2. Module 2

   Combined Events, Tree Diagrams and Venn Diagrams

   Led by Pierre de Fermat Simulacrum

   The question

   Independent events and the multiplication rule, tree diagrams for sequential events (with and without replacement), conditional probability, Venn diagrams with set notation (∪, ∩, ξ, A′) at Higher tier, and systematic listing strategies for enumeration.

   Outcome

   The student can use tree diagrams and Venn diagrams to calculate combined and conditional probabilities. (Combined probability)
