Quarter IV – Module 6
Counting the Number of
Occurences of an Outcome in
an Experiment
This Self- Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can
continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises,
and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as
you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM.
This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your
facilitator or your teacher's assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of
each module, you need to answer the post-test to self - check your learning. Answer keys
are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this
SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the
instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the tasks in
this module do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

LESSON
Fundamental Counting
2 Principle
You already have a prior knowledge about different methods to count all possible
outcomes of an experiment. However, it takes a lot of time to be able to determine the
number of possible outcomes. In this lesson, you will learn another method to count all
possible outcomes of an experiment through fundamental counting principle.
What’s In
Direction: Read carefully and visualize the following experiments. Then, write your answers
in a piece of paper.
1. One card randomly picked from a standard deck of cards must be Queen of Heart.
2. If you flip two coins, it will come down both tails.
3. What is the probability of getting an even number when you roll a die?
4. Choosing a month from a year, what is the probability of selecting a month with 31 days?
5. If you roll a pair of dice, what is the probability of getting the sum of 8?
What’s New
Direction: Read and analyse the situation carefully then answer the questions that follow.
Write your answer on a separate piece of paper.
Upin and Ipin were playing “Snake and Ladder”. If they rolled a dice at the same time,
how many possible outcomes can they move on the spaces?
Guided Questions:
1. How many possible outcomes can be made if they only roll a die?
2. What are those outcomes?
3. If they rolled a pair of dice simultaneously, how many possible outcomes can be made?
4. How did you find the answer?
10
What is It
Illustrative Example 1:
Upin and Ipin were playing “Snake and Ladder”. If they rolled a dice at the same time,
how many possible outcomes can they move on the spaces?
**Note that the first and second event occur at the same time.
m x n = total outcomes
6 x 6 = 36
When Upin and Ipin rolled a pair of dice at the same time, the total number of
possible outcomes is 36.
11
Illustrative Example 2:
A spinner with 5 equal sections marked A, B, C, D, and E is spun, and a card is picked
from cards numbered 1 to 10. Find the total number of possible outcomes.
The total number of outcomes of the spinner when spun is 5 and the total
number of outcomes of the second event that randomly pick from a card is 10.
5 x 10 = 50
The total number of possible outcomes when the spinner is spun and a card is
picked at the same time is 50.
Illustrative Example 3:
Mrs. Dela Cruz gave a 5-item True or False short quiz. If you want to answer all the
questions in no particular order, in how many ways can you answer the short quiz?
The total number of choices in a True or False short quiz is 2. **Note that there
are five events with two choices per event.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
So, the total number of ways you can answer a 5-item True or False short quiz is
32 different ways.
12
What’s More
Direction: Read and analyse the problem below, and answer the following on a separate
paper.
