How about this high school math standard for probability -- is it ridiculous?

CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.CP.A.3 
 Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B. [/quote]

Is there one for making change?  Balancing a checkbook?

The standard for money is a second-grade math standard:

CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.C.8
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Which high school math classes teach balancing a checkbook?

Here are the old PK-8 plus algebra and geometry math standards for Maryland from before Maryland adopted the Common Core standards. Where is their standard for balancing a checkbook?

Here are the Virginia Standards of Learning. Where is their standard for balancing a checkbook?
