I. PRE-TEST. Read each of the items carefully. Encircle the letter of the
correct answer for each question.
1. Out of 120 senior high school graduating students, 30 are on the honor
roll, 25 are members of the Tuason Dance Society, and 15 are in the honor
roll and are also members of the Tuason Dance Society. What is the
probability that a randomly selected senior high school graduating student
is a member of Tuason Dance Society?

c. What is the probability of a nurse entertaining male patients with
symptoms of tiredness at the same time?
11
c. What is the probability of a nurse entertaining at least 18-year-old
patient with headache at the same time?
2. A pencil case contains 5 black pens, 7 blue pens and 3 red pens. What is
the probability getting a blue pen or a red pen?
12
b. What is the probability of housing a patient being a female or having a
fever?
Direction: Fill in the blank with the choices provided in the box.
When two events (call them "A" and "B") are _(1)___________________ it is
impossible for them to happen together. The probability of A and B
together equals (2)________________ . For Mutually Exclusive events, the
probability of A (3)________________ B is the sum of the individual
probabilities. But, for (4)_____________, the probability of A or B is the sum
of the individual probabilities of A and B minus the probability of the
13
intersection between A (5)_______ B.
Let us Assess
2. Two fair dice are thrown. What is the probability of getting a sum greater
than five or a sum that is even?
14
a. The patient weigh 49 kg or at most 26 years old.
Let us Enhance
Example:
Mutually Exclusive= Turning left and turning right at the same time
15
Non- Mutually Exclusive= Turning left and scratching your head
__________________________________________________________________________
Non- Mutually
Exclusive=___________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Let us Reflect
In this lesson, you learned that two events are said to be mutually
exclusive if and only if the events have no common or shared outcomes.
In a set, two events are mutually exclusive when their intersection is the
empty set. Two events are said to be mutually non exclusive events if both
the events have at least one common outcome between them.
