Mutually Exclusive vs. Independent vs. Complementary

Mutually Exclusive Events If event A happens, then event B cannot, or vice-versa.
Independent Events The outcome of event A has no effect on the outcome of event B.
Complementary Events If the two events are the only possible outcomes, they are complementary. The outcome is either A or B only.
  • If A and B are mutually exclusive, they cannot be independent.
    Flip heads/Flip tails
  • If A and B are independent, they cannot be mutually exclusive.
    Roll a 3/Flip tails
  • If A and B are complementary, they cannot be independent.
    Flip heads/Flip tails either-or
  • If A and B are complementary, they are mutually exclusive
    Flip heads OR Flip tails

1. Page 50 Walk Through 5.1 and 5.2

OBJECTIVE:1.4.1 Understand the concepts of complementary, independent, and mutually exclusive events 1.4.2 Understand and apply the procedures for determining the probabilities of multiple trials 1.2.1 Analyze how a change in a linear dimension affects other linear measurements (perimeter, circumference) and area measurements. 1.2.3 Understand how the unit of measure affects the precision of measurement ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Model 5.1 and 5.2 as a further demonstration of using area models for difficult probabilities. Use the Launch materials. This is not A WASL item and therefore will not be graded. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Page 53 #1 - based on class presentation

4. Info on Equivalent fractions/proportion

OBJECTIVE: 1.4.1 Understand the concepts of complementary, independent, and mutually exclusive events 1.4.2 Understand and apply the procedures for determining the probabilities of multiple trials 1.2.1 Analyze how a change in a linear dimension affects other linear measurements (perimeter, circumference) and area measurements. 1.2.3 Understand how the unit of measure affects the precision of measurement ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: PAIRS Page 59ff Problem 6.1 'Drawing Marbles' Compute the theoretical probability and compare with experimental probability. NOTES: Mathematical and Problem-Solving Goals: •To find probabilities in situations that involve drawing with and without replacement •To find and compare theoretical and experimental probabilities •To use probability analysis to help make decisions.

3. TEST Page 89 #3

OBJECTIVE: 1.4.1 Understand the concepts of complementary, independent, and mutually exclusive events 1.4.2 Understand and apply the procedures for determining the probabilities of multiple trials 1.2.1 Analyze how a change in a linear dimension affects other linear measurements (perimeter, circumference) and area measurements. 1.2.3 Understand how the unit of measure affects the precision of measurement ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Test on Investigation 6. May use notes - no text. Answers must include tables/charts/diagram all neatly labeled in addition to the answer to the questions. NOTES: Page 89 #3: A bag contains two red marbles and two white marbles. 3a. After a marble is drawn, it is replaced before the next draw. Explain how you determine the probability that a red marble will be drawn twice in a row. 3b. After a marble is drawn, it is NOT replaced before the next draw. Explain how you determine the probability that a red marble will be drawn twice in a row. HOMEWORK: P65 5b
