Outcomes

U1.AoS4.1

random experiments, sample spaces, outcomes, elementary and compound events, random variables and the distribution of results of experiments

U1.AoS4.2

simulation using simple random generators such as coins, dice, spinners and pseudo-random generators using technology, and the display and interpretation of results, including informal consideration of proportions in samples

U1.AoS4.8

set up probability simulations, and describe the notions of randomness and variability, and their relation to events

U2.AoS4.6

simulation to estimate probabilities involving selection with and without replacement.
