Students will be expected to:
Statistics and Probability (Chance and Uncertainty)
5SP4.2 Design and conduct a 
probability experiment in which 
one outcome is less likely to occur 
than another outcome.
Provide students with blank spinners and have them design an 
experiment where one event is less likely to occur than others. They 
could design a spinner that is
