Abstract

This article studies the knowledge of students, prospective primary school teachers, about incompatible, complementary and independent events. Participated in the study 31 students of the Degree in Basic Education of a university in the North of Portugal, who were proposed to solve a task with three items, each related to a type of events. In terms of results, we highlight the great difficulties exhibited by students in defining the different types of events, most accentuated in the case of complementary and independent events, which are explained, above all, because it is about defining events of a compound random experience.
