Collect data using computational tools and transform the data to make it more useful and reliable. (P6.3)

CCSS

Math.Content.7.SP.C.5	Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
Math.Practice.MP4	Model with mathematics.
Math.Practice.MP5	Use appropriate tools strategically.
