Counting Methods and


Techniques in an Experiment
8TH GRADE

Counting Methods
- particular ways of doing something like
making decisions and predicting outcomes.

Counting Techniques
- the ability to apply a particular task
skillfully.
8TH GRADE

Tabular Form
This method uses columns and
rows where to enter all possible
outcomes of an experiment.
8TH GRADE
PROBLEM 1:
Suppose at a particular restaurant you have
three choices for an appetizer (soup, salad, or
brownies) and three choices for a main course
(hamburger, sandwich, and spaghetti). If you are
allowed to choose exactly one item from each
category for your meal, how many different meal
options do you have?

8TH GRADE

Tree-Diagram
It is a diagram used to show all the
possible outcomes in a probability
experiment. It consists of line
segments coming from a starting
point to the outcome point.

8TH GRADE

Systematic Listing
It is a method of determining
the number of outcomes of an
experiment by enumerating
or making a list of all possible
outcomes.

S= {(Soup, Hamburger), (Soup,


Sandwich), (Soup, Spaghetti), (Salad,
Hamburger), (Salad, Sandwich),
(Salad, Spaghetti), (Brownies,
Hamburger), (Brownies, Sandwich),

8TH GRADE

Fundamental Counting Technique


It is a technique of finding the
number of possible outcomes of
an experiment without listing.
8TH GRADE
Fundamental Counting Technique
(Product Rule)
If one event can occur in m ways, a
second event can occur in n ways, and a
third event can occur in p ways, and so
on, then the sequence of events can
occur in m x n x p x … ways. This is
known as the product rule or rule of
product.
8TH GRADE

Example 1:
Using the digits from 1 to 9, how many
3-digit numbers can be formed if repetition of
digits is
a. allowed? b. not allowed?
Solution: Since we will form 3-digit numbers,
so we reserve space for each digit.
__1st _ __2nd_ __3rd _
8TH GRADE

Example 1:
a). repetition of digits is allowed.

In the 1st space, anyone of the 9 digits can be


placed; in the 2nd space, anyone of the 9 digits can
be placed, and in the 3rd space, anyone of the 9
digits can be placed also. Therefore, the number of
3-digit numbers that can be formed if repetition of
digits is allowed is 9 x 9 x 9 = 729.
8TH GRADE
Example 1:
b). repetition of digits is not allowed.

In the 1st space, anyone of the 9 digits can be placed; in


the 2nd space, anyone of the 8 remaining digits can be placed
since one digit is already assigned in the first space, and in the
3rd space, anyone of the 7 remaining digits can be placed since
two digits are already assigned in the first two spaces. Using the
product rule, the number of 3-digit numbers that can be formed
if repetition of digits is not allowed is 9 x 8 x 7 = 504.
So, the number of 3-digit numbers that can be formed if
repetition is not allowed is 504.

Activity 1:
Clarisse wanted to go the Shopping Mall. She
was confused on what to wear. In her wardrobe she
found a gray (G) and a black (B) jeans and a red (R),
a yellow (Y) and a white (W) shirts. Help Clarisse
choose her outfit matching her available jeans and t-
shirts using the three methods.

A. Tabular B. Tree Diagram


C. Systematic Listing
8TH GRADE

Questions:
1 How many choices of pants are there?

2 How many choices of shirts are there?

How many different possible choices of


3 outfits does Clarisse have?
8TH GRADE
Activity 2:

From the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8,


how many four-digit numbers can
be formed if repetition of digits is
allowed?
8TH GRADE
Questions:
1 How many digits are given?
2 How many digits are required in each number to be
formed?
3 How many options are there for the first digit? second
digit? third digit? fourth digit?
4 Is the product rule applicable to answer the problem?
5 How many four-digit numbers are formed?
6 What is the greatest 4-digit number formed in this
activity ?
8TH GRADE
Activity 3:
A school canteen offers a student meal. It is
composed of cup of rice, a vegetable viand, a meat viand,
and a regular drink. If there are 3 vegetable viands
(pinakbet, chop suey, or mixed vegetables), 3 meat
viands (afritada, adobong baboy, or beef steak), and 2
drinks (lemon juice, or kalamansi juice) organize the
possible choices a student can have using tree diagram.
8TH GRADE

Questions:
1 How many possible choices of meal does
a student have?
What are the possible choices of meal
2 that a student can choose from?
3 How important are the counting techniques
in our real-life setting or experiments?
