    Remember:

    • Standard 7.SP.C.8: find probabilities of compound events using lists, tables, tree diagrams and simulation.
    • A tree diagram shows every outcome as one path: a coin and a spinner with 3 equal sections give \(2\times 3=6\) outcomes.
    • Two number cubes have \(36\) equally likely outcomes, and \(6\) of them give a sum of \(7\).
    • Drawing without replacement leaves fewer choices on the second draw than drawing with replacement.
    • A simulation gives an estimate that gets closer to the true probability as the number of trials grows.
