I. Objectives: C. Discussion

The document outlines a lesson plan on probability that has the objectives of understanding probability rules and computing the probability of events. It discusses key probability concepts like the probability scale from 0 to 1, rules like events with probability of 0 cannot happen and 1 are certain, and examples of calculating probabilities of different scenarios like drawing cards or marbles. It also covers dependent and independent events and how the probability of one event can impact another. Students are given practice problems to match probabilities to scenarios.

Probability of Events

The probability of an event, P (event), is a number from 0 to 1 which tells how likely the event is to
happen. Take a closer look at the probability line below. Never to To happen about Sure to happen half
the time happen 0 1 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1 0% 25% 50% 75% 100%

Probability Rules

1. The probability of any event is a number (either a fraction, a decimal or a percent) from 0 to 1.
Example: The weather forecast shows a 70% rain P (rain) = 70%

2. If an event will never happen, then its probability is 0. Example: When a single die is rolled, find the
probability of getting an 8. Since the sample space consists of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, it is impossible to get
an 8. Hence, P(9) = 0 9 = 0.

3. If an event is sure to happen, then the probability is 1. Example: When a single die is rolled, what is
the probability of getting a number less than 7? Since all the outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} are less than 7, P
(number less than 7) = 6/ 6 = 1

4. The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes in the sample space is 1.
Example:

In rolling a fair die, each outcome in the sample space has a probability of 1/ 6 . Hence, the sum of the
probabilities of the outcomes is 1.

If a fair coin is flipped, P (T) = 1 /2 and P (H) = 1/ 2

If you flipped the coin ten times and got the following outcomes: H, H. H, T, H, T, T, H, H, what is the
probability that the last outcome will also be a Head (H)? How did you arrive at your answer?

Examples:

1. What is the probability of getting a HEART from a deck of cards? P (heart) = 13 /52 = 1/ 4

2. There are 25 marbles in a container: 4 are red, 5 are blue and 11 are yellow. What is the probability
that a blue marble will be picked? P (blue marble) = 5 /20 = 1 /4

Sometimes, getting an event affects the outcome of another event. Take a look at these examples:

1. Five red candies are left in a bag of 40 different colored candies.


a. What is the probability that you will get a red candy? How did you get your answer?
b. What are your chances of getting a red one when you pick again? Why?
How many candies are now in the bag?
How many red candies are there?

Getting the next candy is affected by the result of the first attempt. Every time you get a piece of
candy from a bag, the chance of getting a red one will change. These are called dependent events.

2. Flipping two coins.


a. When you flip a coin, what is the probability of heads landing up?
b. If you flip it again, what is the probability of getting tails?
The two events do not affect each other. They are independent events.

D. Generalization

What are the rules of probability based on our discussion?
