    Basic Concepts of Probability

    Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________

    Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)

    • illustrates an experiment, outcome, sample space and event. M8GE-IVf-1

    Learning Objective:
    • Define probability
    • Determine experiment, outcome, sample space and event
    • Relate applications of probability in real- life situations

    Time Allotment: 60 minutes for four (4) days

    Key Concepts

    • Probability is the chance that something will happen. Events cannot be predicted with total
    certainty. We can say, “How likely they are to happen.”

    ❖ Ways of Showing Probability

    Probability goes from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain):

    0 1

    ➢ certain (probability of 1, the highest possible likelihood)


    ➢ likely (probability between ½ and 1)
    ➢ even chance (probability of ½)
    ➢ unlikely (probability between 0 and ½)
    ➢ impossible (probability of 0, the lowest possible likelihood)

    Example:

    Consider a box that contains only red cubes. If you were to select from the box, you are
    certain to pick a red one. We say that an event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. If
    we were to reach into the same bag of cubes, it is impossible to select a yellow cube. An impossible
    event has a probability of 0.

    ❖ Probability is often shown as a decimal or fraction. Example: the probability of getting
    a "Head" when tossing a coin:

    ➢ As a decimal: 0.5
    ➢ As a fraction: ½
    ➢ As a percentage: 50%
    ➢ Or sometimes like this: 1-in-2

    • Probability Experiment is a chance process that leads to a well-defined result called an


    outcome.

    Examples: Flipping a coin


    Rolling a die

    • Outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment.

    Experiment Outcome

    Flipping a coin Head (H) Tail (T)

    Rolling a die 1,2,3,4,5,6

    • Sample space is the set of all the possible outcomes or sample points

    • Sample point is just one of the possible outcomes.

    Experiment Sample space Sample Point

    Flipping a coin HH, HT, TH, TT HH

    Rolling a die 1,2,3,4,5,6 5

    Flipping a coin and a die H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T3
    Simultaneously T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6

    Drawing a card from a deck 13 diamonds, 13 Hearts, 13 Queen of Hearts


    Spades, 13 Cubs (Ace, 2, 3,
    4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
    Jack, Queen, King)

    Note: “Queen” is not a sample point because there are four Queens which are four different sample
    points in a deck of cards.

    • Event is any set of one or more outcomes satisfying some given conditions. Event is a subset
    of sample space.

    Examples:
    a. Getting a TTT when flipping a coin thrice
    b. Choosing a “Queen” from a deck of cards (any of the 4 Queens)
    c. Getting an “odd number” (1, 3, or 5) when rolling a di
