Introduction
Introduce the topic and ask the students about their initial understanding on the
topic.
Explain the Objectives of the lesson and what the students will learn.

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood

of a given event's occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 1 and 0.
The more likely an event is to occur, the higher its probability. The less likely an
event is to occur, the lower its probability.
Experiment is anything that is repeatedly do such as rolling a die, tossing a coin,
or randomly choosing a ball where results may vary even conditions are similar.
Examples: a. tossing a coin b. rolling a die
Sample Space is the set of all possible outcomes in an experiment
Example: a. S = {H, T} b. S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Event is any subset of a sample space.
Examples: a. getting a head when tossing a coin E = {H}
b. getting an even number when rolling a die E = {2, 4, 6}
Sample Point is an outcome of an experiment
Examples: a. H, T b. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Simple Event is an event with only one outcome
Examples:
a. The event of getting a non-prime and non-composite number when rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year having the letter “F”.

Finding The Probability of Simple Events:

number of ways the event can occur

P ( E )=
number of possible outcomes
or
number of outcome ∈the event
P ( E )=
number of outcomes∈the sample space

Probability Line

Sure Event is an event whose outcome must occur.

Examples:
a. The event of getting a counting number less than 7 when rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year with 28 days
 Impossible Event is an event whose outcome must not occur.
Examples:
a. The event of getting a 7 when rolling a die
b. The event of selecting a month of the year with 32 days.

C. Explore (10 mins)

Example 1:
What is the probability of rolling an even number on a number cube?
Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Event = {2, 4, 6}
n(S) = 6 n(E) = 3
n(E) 3 1
P ( prime ) = = =
n ( S) 6 2
Example 2:
A playing card is drawn at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Find
the probability of drawing a diamond card.
n ( E ) 13 1
P ( a diamond )= = =
n ( S ) 52 4
Example 3:
A box contains 3 red balls, 5 yellow balls, and 2 blue balls. If a ball is picked at
random from the box, what is the probability that a ball picked is a yellow ball?
n (E ) 5 5 1
P ( yellow ball )= = = =
n ( S ) 3+5+ 2 10 2
D. Explain (5 mins)
Now, in order to know if you really understand the lesson, try it on the board.
Situation: Carlo spin below.
(a) What is the probability the spinner will land on 3?
(b)What is the probability the spinner will land on even number?

E. Elaborate (10 mins)

(Group Activity)
Mechanics: The class will be divided into four groups. You only have 3 minutes
to finish this activity and after that you have to choose a representative to present
your work.
Situation: Noah and Jacob are having an iphone giveaway. They put all the
iphone shuffles in a bag. Winners may choose an iphone without looking at the
color. Inside the bag, there are 4 orange, 5 blue, 6 green and 5 pink iphones.

Group 1. If the first winner chooses one iphone at random, what is the probability
that she will choose an orange iphone?
Group 2. If the first winner chooses one iphone at random, what is the probability
that she will choose a blue iphone?
Group 3. If the first winner chooses one iphone at random, what is the probability
that she will choose a green iphone?
 Group 4. If the first winner chooses one iphone at random, what is the probability
that she will choose a pink iphone?
Answer:
1. P (orange) = 4/20 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%
2. P (blue) = 5/20 = ¼ = 0.25 = 25%
3. P (green) = 6/20 = 3/10 = 0.30 = 30%
4. P (pink) = 5/20 = ¼ = 0.25 = 25%

Generalization

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood

of a given event's occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 1 and 0.
The more likely an event is to occur, the higher its probability. The less likely an
event is to occur, the lower its probability.

Simple Event is an event with only one outcome

Finding The Probability of Simple Events:

number of ways the event can occur

P ( E )=
number of possible outcomes
or
number of outcome ∈the event
P ( E )=
number of outcomes∈the sample space

F. Evaluate (10 mins)

Instruction: Answer directly in a ¼ sheet of paper.
A. Fill in the blanks
_________ is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood
of a given event's occurrence, which is expressed as a number between 1 and 0.
The more likely an event is to occur, the ______ its probability. The less likely an
event is to occur, the _____ its probability.

________ is an event with only one outcome

B. Find the probability of the following: (2pts each)

1. If a letter is chosen at the random from the word PERSEVERANCE, what is
the probability that the letter chosen is E?
2. What is the probability of getting an 8 from a deck of 52 cards?
3. Charlene is asked to choose a day from a week. What is the probability of
choosing a day which starts with S?

G. Extend (5 mins)

wherein you wondered for a probability of a certain event.
