Probability Concepts and Applications

This video tutorial covers key probability concepts for grade 7 students, including events and outcomes, probability of single and compound events, experimental and theoretical probability, and sample spaces. It explains how to calculate probabilities, describes the likelihood of events, and differentiates between independent and dependent events. The tutorial also demonstrates the use of sample spaces through tree diagrams and tables, providing practical examples and exercises for students to practice their understanding.

What does experimental probability depend on?

• None of the above

What does it mean if two events are independent?

• Both events must occur together
