Link to the Previous Session/Topic Counting techniques such as fundamental counting principle, permutation and combination will be applied on
some problems solving involving probability.
Link to the Next Session/Topic The session on Probability focuses on finding the probability of different kinds of events such as, simple events,
compound events, mutually and not exclusive events, dependent and independent events and conditional
events.
How does this contribute to the This session provides the trainers with the concept probability and different techniques and methods they can
program outcomes? use in teaching probability.
Learning Objectives
INTRODUCTION Greet the participants and make them feel good and
comfortable. Provide an energizer, if necessary.

yourselves?
Do:
ACTIVITY Go to your respective group and form a circle. 15 mins
Say:
List the number of members that belong to the category
given to you. 10-12
Ask:
1. What was the objective of the activity?
2. If I were to pick a random person from your group; What are
the chances that I will pick someone from Taytay, Rizal?
3. What are the chances that the person is an alumna of URS?
4. What are the chances that the person has complete
academic requirement in graduate school?
5. How did you arrive with your answer?
Do:
ABSTRACTION Using the power point presentation, present the meaning of
probability.
Say:
Discuss the meaning of probability and its formula. 13-17 15 mins
Ask:
Let’s try to apply the formula,
If I were to pick one person in your group at random, what is the
probability that:
1. He/she likes watching movies?
2. He/she has 1 child?
3. He/ she is from Binangonan, Rizal?

ACTIVITY Do:
“Kakacellphone mo” Divide the participants into groups.
Say:
Create a venn diagram showing the result of the survey.
Page 4 of 8
ABSTRACTION Present slides on venn diagram of mutually exclusive and
not mutually exclusive events. 24-29 5 mins
Say:
Mutually exclusive events - events that have no outcomes in
common. This also means that if two or more events are
mutually exclusive, they cannot happen at the same time,
this also referred to as disjoint events.
Not mutually exclusive - if an events have intersection or
there are outcomes that are common to A and B.
ACTIVITY Do:
Give each group their assigned task.
Do:
Group
Answers the assigned tasked and then present by one
representative.
ANALYSIS Ask:
1. How did you get your answer? 40 5 mins
2. What kind of events are in the problem?
3. Does one event affects the other? How can you say so?
Page 5 of 8
4. What do we call the events that does NOT affect each
other?
Say:
ABSTRACTION Two events are independent if the occurrence of one of the
events gives no information about whether or not the other
event will occur; that is, the events have no influence on each
other. 41-44 5mins
When the outcome of one event affects the outcome of
another event, they are dependent events. If two events, A
and B, are dependent, then the probability of both events
occurring is the product of the probability of A and the
probability of B after A occurs.
LECTURETTE Do: 45-48 15mins
Present the slides on formula of probability of dependent
and independent events.
Solve samples 1-4 together with the participants.
ACTIVITY Do:
The participants will go to their group respectively. Playing cards
Playing cards will be given each group.
Do:
Group

Play in between and try to strategize in winning.
ANALYSIS Ask: 51 5mins
1.What strategy did you use to win the game?
2. How will you know if you have a high probability of winning?
3. How can we find the probability of an event, if another event
has already occurred?
ABSTRACTION Say: 52-54 5mins
The conditional probability of an event A given B is the
probability that the event A will occur given that an event B
has already occurred. This probability is written as P(A|B) and
read as “the probability of A given B”.
LECTURETTE Do: 55-63 10mins
Present the slides on definition and formula for Conditional
Probability
Solve Problems on Conditional Probability with help of
participants.
APPLICATION Say: 64-70 10mins
Answer the following problems about probability.
Do:
Answer the problems and Check.
Ask:
Where did you had difficulty answering?
CLOSURE Words to ponder: 71 2mins
