Using Algebra to Solve Probability Problems (with clues) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 7th Grade, Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: 7.SP.C.6, HSS.CP.A.3
CCSS Description: Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.

Using Algebra to Solve Probability Problems (with clues) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet uses an ongoing theme of yellow and white counters in a bag to encourage students to think about how to combine their knowledge of algebraic manipulation and probability in order to solve problems. Within this worksheet, you will find four carefully designed exam-style questions, each needing to be set up and tackled in slightly different ways.
This version of the worksheet contains clues which can be particularly beneficial for classes or individuals who may require assistance when setting up their probability trees with algebraic expressions. See our version without clues if needed for your students.
