Ms. Secretary, is there anyone absent We are all complete today ma’am!
today?

Okay, very good!

B. Motivation/Review
Okay class, before we proceed with our next
lesson, I will show you first some video clips.

Now, did you know that it has a newer version?

Let us watch it.

Now, after watching the videos, what did you

observe? The two videos are about choosing about different
options.

Okay, very good observation! It shows us that

the two girls are having difficulty in choosing
what they want. In the first video, what is the
girl’s problem?
She is torn between the one who loves her and the one
whom she loves.

She needs to choose only one among the two boys.

Very good! How about the other one? The girl wanted to choose what kind of banana she
could eat.

From those videos and observations, what do

you think will be our topic today? About choosing something?
About chances.

C. Development of the Lesson

Today, we will proceed to another topic which

is also related to our yesterday’s discussion.
But let us recall some words by revealing
hidden meanings of it.

(will show jumbled letters)

The first is (ilitpyobarb).
Page 2 of 8
What is probability?
Probability
Okay, very good! When we want to determine Possible or chances to happen.
the chances of an event occurring, we called
that probability. If yesterday, we tackled about
the evens, union, and intersection of events
including the probability of a union of two
events, we will proceed to another concepts
regarding probability.

In what daily life activities do can associate

probability?

How do you say so?

In lottery ma’am!

Second. (tmeneerxpi) Because in lottery we are hoping for a possibility that

What is experiment? we can win the set of number that will be drawn.

In our video a while ago, what do you think is Experiment.

our experiment? The thing that we actually do or try.

Third. (ctomues) Choosing who to love.

What do you think is the possible outcomes in Choosing a banana.
our example? In choosing mahal ko o mahal
ako? How many outcomes do we have? Outcomes
It is the set of all outcomes in an experiment.
The possible result of our experiment.
Very good! In the other one? How many kinds
of bananas do we have? Two ma’am because the choices are just mahal ko o
mahal ako.

For example you are the girl in the video, what lakatan, latundan, senorita, saba
kind of banana do you want to choose?

Fourth. (malsep escap)

What are the sample spaces that we have? Lakatan, ma’am!

Fifth. (netev)
When we say subset, it means that the event is Sample Space
part of our sample space. In simple words, we It is the set of all outcomes in an experiment.
can find our event in the sample space. {mahal ko, mahal ako} {lakatan, latundan, senorita,
saba}
What are our event outcomes?
Event
It is a subset of the sample space.
Now what is the probability that we will

choose the one that we love?

How do you say so?

Mahal ko
Lakatan

50/50

Very good! How about the other video?

Because the only possible outcomes that we have is one
and the choices we have is only two. So in Mahal ko o
Very good observation! All we need to know Mahal ako, there is only 50% or ½ chance of choosing
regarding probability will be discussed today. the one that you love.

How many sides does a die have? Since we have 4 choices of bananas and we can only
choose 1, therefore there is a ¼ chance for us to choose
Example of the experiment is throwing this die, lakatan.
right? So how many possible outcomes do you
think we have in rolling a die?

What are those outcomes?

6 sides, ma’am!

Now, what is the probability that we will get an

even number in rolling this die? How many
even numbers do we have in a die? 6 possible outcomes, ma’am.

We have 6 possible outcomes, and we have 3 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

chances of getting an even number. What is the
probability of it?

Very good class! 3/6 or we can also simplify it

to ½ so meaning there is a 50% chance for us 3 ma’am. 2, 4, and 6.
to get an even number in rolling a die.

The probability of an event, P (event), is a

number from 0 to 1 which tells you how likely
the event is to be happened.

P ( E )=number of favorable outcome ¿ ¿ an event

3/6¿ ma’am! ¿
¿ total number of possible
outcomes

What about if we want to roll a die and get a

number greater than 4? What is the probability?

How do you say so?

Page 4 of 8
Another example, if a letter is to be selected
from the word chivalry, find the probability
that the letter is:
a. Vowel
b. consonant

Another example: 2/6 or 1/3 probability, ma’am!

In a box, there are 24 balls numbered 1 through
24. If a ball is drawn from the box, what is the Ma’am because there are 6 possible outcomes and there
probability that the ball shows a number are only 2 number greater than 4 so therefore, the
divisible by 5? probability is 2/6 or if we will simplify it, we will get
1/3 chance.
Did you understand it class? Do you have any
questions?

Now I will give you 10 minutes to answer these 2/8 or ¼.

exercises. Just write down your answer in any 6/8 or ¾.
sheet of paper.

Dario puts 44 marbles in a box in which 14 are

red, 12 are blue, and 18 are yellow. If Dario
picks one marble at random, what is the
probability that he selects: 1/6 ma’am!
a. a red marble?
b. a blue or a yellow marble?

Mario has 45 red chips, 12 blue chips, and 24

white chips. What is the probability that Mario
randomly selects a red chip or a white chip?

There are 4 blue pens, 6 red pens, and 2 green

pens in a bag. If a pen is drawn at random from
the bag, what is the probability that green pen
is drawn?

Okay! Time is up. Your answer please. For

number one? What is the probability?

Number two?

Number three?

Our examples a while ago introduced us to

another concept in probability which is the
mutually exclusive events.

Page 5 of 8
Mutually
What comes into your mind when you hear the
word mutual? Anyone?

Very good! So mutual means held in common

by two of more parties. In probability, when we 14/44 or 7/22
say mutually exclusive events it means that two 30/44 or 15/22
events cannot occur at the same time. Meaning
that events they don’t have intersection or they 69/81.
don’t have any common.
2/12 or 1/6

As you can see, our venn diagram did not

overlap which means that mutually exclusive Mutual means related or common.
events have no intersection or nothing in
common.

Now, if we will examine question number two,

it says there that Mario wanted to get either red
chip or a white chip. He only wanted to get one
color.

You encountered there the word or. When you

read in a problem the word or/either, it refers to
the probability that one event or the other will
occur. And to solve this type of probability
problem, here is our formula.

P ( A∨B )=P ( A ∪B )=P ( A ) + P( B)

So the formula for our mutually exclusive

event the same in getting probability just like
what we did earlier with the die. To find the
probability of each event, simply divide the
amount or sum of favorable events by the
amount of total events.

Do you have anyone question in regards with

our topic?

We will be having a group activity. We need 6

groups. So count from one to six. I want you to
construct a one problem regarding mutually
and not mutually exclusive events and I will
give you 5 minutes to construct and 3

 minutes to solve.

C. Closure

Why do you think probability help us?

Very good! Do you have any questions

regarding our lesson?

Okay, I will leave your assignment please

answer exercise 3 on page 376 of your E-Math
Worktext in Mathematics 10.

Good bye and thank you class!

Ma’am because we can apply the concept of probability

in making our decisions in life.

None, ma’am!

Good bye, ma’am!
