This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Understand conditional probability.
• Represent events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams.
• Communicate their reasoning clearly.

This lesson unit addresses common misconceptions relating to the probability of simple and compound events. The lesson will help you assess how well students understand concepts of:

• Equally likely events.
• Randomness.
• Sample size.

Students will apply knowledge of probability and problem solving to examine urban myths related to sports cars and the color of the car.
