Résumé
The work presented here focuses on probabilistic modelling at the secondary-tertiary transition. Concerning the university level, I am interested in non-specialist students, more precisely first-year biology students. I have written and submitted a test on discrete probabilities to Grade 12 and to biology students. I present here the a priori and a posteriori analysis of one exercise of this test. The analysis of the students' responses to this exercise allowed me to establish initial results on possible difficulties in the secondary-tertiary transition. A first point is that students, in these modelling activities, have difficulty linking task and type of task. Another result is the very high use of probability trees by students in their modelling of the probabilistic situations proposed.
