standard_description: Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.

Each scenario on the left corresponds with a calculation on the right. Connect the scenarios and calculations and identify which features are most useful in connecting the representations:

Problem 2
Below is a spinner with four quadrants, each labeled 1–4. Each outcome is equally likely.

Sam spins the spinner twice and doesn’t land on 4. What is the probability of this occurring?
Problem 3
Allison has put together a simple game. She put 6 cubes in a paper bag—3 yellow and 3 blue. Allison has determined that the rules are as follows:
Pull a cube from the bag and put it on the table.
Pull a second cube from the bag.
If the cubes are different colors, then Player A wins.
If the cubes are the same color, then Player B wins.
Is this game fair? How do you know?
