In the current era, citizens are required to train risk literacy, which is the ability to grasp risk properly and make judgments appropriately. Since risk is represented as the product of the level of the damage and the probability, I believe it is the role of probability education that developing the ability to judge. Based on the above, the purpose of this paper is to identify the educational content of the probability towards development of risk literacy and decide its arrangement.
The results of this paper are the following three things:
