    LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

    MATHEMATICS 8
    Quarter 4 Week 4
    Name: ______________________________ Section:_____________ Score: ____

    L I. LEARNING SKILLS

    At the end of performing the activity in this Learning Activity Sheets, I can
    illustrate an experiment, outcome, sample space and event.

    II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

    You might have heard a weather forecaster saying that there is 80%
    chance that it will rain the next day or the World Health Organization announcing 90-
    99 % effectivity of Covid-19 vaccines or your teacher telling your class that 85% of you
    passed the exam. These only shows that our daily life situations involve chances or
    probability. It is therefore of great importance that we have knowledge of probability
    and its concepts and principles to make wise decisions.
    The probability theory is generally considered to have originated in the sixteenth
    century when the Italian physician, mathematician, and gambler Gerolano Cardano
    wrote the first theoretical study of probabilities in gambling (the Book of Game of
    Chance). It was not viewed as a serious branch of mathematics because of its
    association with gambling. Today, probability has been highly developed and now has
    wide and important applications in many fields of human endeavor. Thus, it has
    become an essential tool to the economist, engineer, and statistician.
    In this learning activity sheet, you will be introduced to fundamentals of
    probability specifically, illustrating experiment, outcome, sample space and event.

    Definition of An Experiment
    An EXPERIMENT is any activity with an observable result.
    Tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosing a card are all considered experiments.

    Definition of An Outcome
    An OUTCOME is the result of the experiment.

    Definition of Sample Space


    The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the
    SAMPLE SPACE.

    1
    Definition of An Event
    An EVENT is a subset of the sample space. The elements in
    the set of Event are taken from the sample space

    Example 1.
    Coin Experiment: Tossing a coin once.
    The outcome is H.
    The sample space for this experiment can be written as
    𝑆 = {𝐻, 𝑇}.

    Example 2.
    You toss two coins (a 5-peso and a 10-peso) and observe whether the coins
    show heads(H) or tail(T).
    (a) What is the experiment?
    (b) What is the sample space?
    (c) What is one outcome?
    (d) If the event E is that exactly one of the
    coins shows heads, what is the event?

    Solution:

    Experiment Sample Space Possible Event


    Outcome/s
    Tossing two (H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T) Answer may vary (H,T),(T,H)
    coins (Any of the
    answer given on
    sample space)

    2
    Example 3.
    Construct a sample space that consists of
    rolling a single die. Find the events that correspond to the
    phrases “an even number is rolled” and “a number greater
    than two is rolled.”

    Experiment: rolling of a single die


    Sample Space: { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } or { number of dots on the top face of the dice }
    Event (an even number is rolled) = { 2,4,6 }
    Event (a number greater than two is rolled) = { 3,4,5,6 }

    III. ACTIVITIES

    PRACTICE TASK 1

    Determine the possible outcome, sample space and event for each
    experiment. Complete the table below.

    1. Toss a coin and a die. If the event E is that exactly one of the coins shows heads
    and a die shows an odd number, what is the event?
    2. Roll two dice. If the event E is that exactly one of the dice shows an even number
    and the second dice shows an odd number, what is the event?

    Possible
    Experiment Sample Space Event
    Outcome/s

    3
    PRACTICE TASK 2

    A pair of dice is tossed. Determine the following:

    1. An experiment

    2. Sample Space ( 2 points )

    3. All the Possible Outcomes ( 2 points )

    4. Event A: The number shown on one dice is 5.

    5. Event B: The sum of 9

    6. Event C: The sum of 10

    7. Event D: The number less than 3 showing on each of the dice.

    8. Event E: A number greater than 3 showing on each of the dice.

    9. Event F: The sum less than 10

    10. Event G: The negative product

    PRACTICE TASK 3

    Four coins are tossed. List the elements of the following events:

    1. Four Heads

    2. Two Tails

    3. One Tail

    4. No Tails

    5. Five Heads

    ASSESSMENT

    correct answer.

    1. It is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.


    A. Experiment B. Sample Space C. Outcomes D. Event
    2. It is any possible results of the experiment.
    A. Experiment B. Sample Space C. Outcomes D. Event
    3. In a coin-die experiment, what are the elements in event A in which the die comes
    up 5?
    A. A { (5,H) } C. A { (5,H), (5,T) }
    B. A { (5,T) } D. All of the above
    4. What is the sample space if three coins are tossed.
    A. { (HHH) }
    B. { (TTT) }
    C. { (HHH) (HHT) (HTH) (THH) (TTH) (THT) (HTT) (TTT) }
    D. { (HHT) (HTH) (THH) (TTH) (THT) (HTT) }
    5. List the sample space for a two-digit number formed from the digits 1, 2, and 7
    with no digit to be used more than once.
    A. { (12) (17) (21) (27) (71) (72) }
    B. { (11) (12) (17) (21) (22) (27) (71) (72) (77) }
