Investigat e chanc e process es an d d evelop, use, an d e valuat e probability mo dels ( 7.SP.5-8) Standard 7.SP.5 : Understan d that t he probabilit y of a chanc e event is a number betwee n 0 an d 1 that express es t he likelihoo d of t he event occurring . Larger numbers indicat e greater likelihood. A probabilit y near 0 indicat es an unli kely event , a probabilit y around ½ indicat es an event t hat is neit her un li kely no r likely, and a pr obabilit y near 1 in dicates a l ik ely e vent.
