Venn diagrams are a representation used to model statistical/probability questions. Commonly circles are used to represent events.

Using a Venn diagram to display outcomes for two events

Maths

In this unit, pupils learn techniques for systematically listing all of the possible outcomes for both one event and two events. In the future unit, pupils use lists of outcomes to find theoretical probabilities

In this unit, pupils find all the factors of a number systematically and they understand that systematic listing is helpful in organising their work. The idea of being systematic is built on in this unit as pupils work to identify all possible outcomes

Probability: possible outcomes

Use this Venn diagram to match the events to the outcomes.

The Venn diagram shows 5 pupils and whether they play football (F) or play rugby (R). Which pupil plays rugby but not football?

Here are all the factors of a number $$x$$. Match each factor with the factor that completes the factor pair.
