Solving Problems Involving Dependent Events
Solving Problems Involving Dependent Events
I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of probability.
B. Performance Standards The learner is able to formulate and solve practical problems involving probability of simple
events.
C. Learning Competencies At the end of the lesson, each learner should be able to:
1) Solve problems involving the probability of dependent events.
2) Appreciate the uses of finding the probability of dependent events in real life.
“What did we discuss last meeting?” “We discussed about solving problems
involving probability of independent
events.”
“Do you have an assignment?” “Yes, ma’am.”
“Exchange papers with your seatmate. We will
check your assignment.” The students will exchange papers.
“Who wants to answer number 1 and number 2?” Two volunteer students will answer in
the board.

B. Establishing a purpose “For this lesson, our objectives will be the following. A student will read the objectives
for the lesson Kindly read.” pasted on the board.
C. Presenting “I have here two problems. Who will read the first
examples/instances of the one?”
new lesson
Problem 1 A student will read the first situation.
John takes a card from a deck of cards. He put
it in the counter and takes another card. What is the
probability that John has two jack cards?
D. Discussing new concepts “Based on our past discussions, what is a dependent “Two events are DEPENDENT if the
and practicing new skills #1 event again?” outcome of the first event greatly
affects the outcome of the second
event.”
“The result of the second event will
depends upon the result of the first
event.”
“Do you think that we will use the same rule with
the independent events?” “Yes, ma’am.”
“What rule was that again?” “Multiplication rule.”
“What multiplication rule? The general
multiplication rule or special multiplication rule?” “General multiplication rule.”
“Why?” “Because this is applicable for
dependent events.”
“What is again the formula for general P(A and B) = P(A ꓵ B) = P(A) • P(B)
multiplication rule?”
“Yes, we have the same formula that we will be
using. We will just simply multiply the probability of
the first event and the second event. But the
probability of the second event will now depends
upon the first event.”
“That’s right. What is the second event?” “Taking a jack card again.”
“So the probability will be just the same?” “No, ma’am”
“It’s no, since the card was not turned back into the
deck then we will subtract a card. Therefore, what

F. Developing mastery “I want you to answer the following problems in The students’ will answer the problems
(Leads to Formative your notebooks.” individually and quietly.
Assessment 3)
EXERCISES
1. Aiden pulls an ace from a deck of regular
playing cards. He does not replace the card.
What is the probability of pulling out a second
ace?
2. Suppose all letters are put in a bag. What is the
probability of getting J on the first pick and J
again on the second pick?
3. Mary has 6 blue crayons, 5 red and 8 yellow.
She picked a crayon and gave it to her sister.
She picked another one and gave it to her
brother. What is the probability that both her
siblings will get a red crayon?

I. Evaluating Learning “Class, get one fourth sheet of paper and answer
the following.”
Answers
1. Joey has a box of blocks with 8 alphabet blocks 1)
and 4 plain red blocks. He gave an alphabet
block to his sister. What is the probability his
next selection will be another alphabet block?
2. Jay picked a letter from a box containing the 2)
alphabet. He hid his first pick and picked
