QUARTER FOURTH WEEK 6 DAY mm/dd/yyyy
TOPIC Experiment, Outcome, Sample Space, and Event
LEARNING The learner illustrates an experiment, outcome, sample space, and
COMPETENCY event. (M8GE-IVf-1)

IMPORTANT: Do not write anything on this material. Write your answers on separate
sheets.

UNDERSTAND
Experiment, Outcome, Sample Space, and Event
It is necessary to define some important terms related to probability. This lesson
will allow you to familiarize with these terms.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Experiment is an activity for which the outcome cannot be
predicted with certainty.
• Outcome is the result of an experiment.
• Sample Space is the set of all possible outcomes of an
experiment.
• Sample Point refers to each individual outcome.
• Event is a subset of the sample space. Thus, it is one or more
outcomes of an experiment.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 1

The image below shows the two sides of a standard 1-peso coin.
Suppose that a coin is tossed. Determine the following:
a. Experiment
b. Outcomes
c. Sample Space
d. Sample Point
e. Event
ANSWERS:
a. Experiment: tossing a coin
b. Outcomes: landing on head or landing on tail
Thus, in this experiment, there are 2 outcomes.
c. Sample space: {H, T} or {Head, Tail}
d. Sample point: H, T or Head, Tail
e. Possible Events: landing on head or landing on tail

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 2
Supposed you roll a die once, determine the following:
a. Experiment
b. Outcomes
c. Sample Space
d. Sample Point
e. Event

ANSWERS:
a. Experiment: rolling a die
b. Outcomes: landing on 1 or landing on 2 or landing on 3 or landing on 4
or landing on 5 or landing on 6. Thus, in this experiment, there are 6
outcomes.
c. Sample space: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
d. Sample Point: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
e. Possible Events: landing on 1
landing on 2
landing on 3
landing on 4
landing on 5
landing on 6

SAQ 1: Given an experiment, can you predict the outcomes? Why?

SAQ 2: How do you find the outcomes of a sample space?

Let’s Practice! (Write your answers on separate sheets.)

ACTIVITY
TERM 1
Directions: Determine the experiment, outcomes, sample space, and events.

A spinner is divided into four regions with distinct color in each region:
RED
red, blue, green, and yellow.
YELLOW

BLUE

GREEN a. Experiment: ______________________________

b. Outcomes: ______________________________
c. Sample Space: ______________________________
d. Event ______________________________
(give all possible events)

REMEMBER
Key Points
⚫ An experiment is an activity for which the outcome cannot be predicted with
certainty.
⚫ An outcome is the result of an experiment. The set of all possible outcomes of an
experiment is sample space.
⚫ An event is a subset of the sample space. Thus, it is one or more outcomes of an
experiment.

Let’s see how much have you learned today!

General Directions: Study the following assessments carefully and write your answers
on separate sheets.

Assessment 1.
Directions: Match Column A with Column B. Write the letter of the correct answer on a
separate sheet.

COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. a process or an action with observable results A. Experiment

2. a collection or set of possible outcomes of a random B. Outcomes

experiment
C. Sample Space
3. known as the results of an experiment or trial
D. Sample Point
4. the subset of the sample space
E. Event
5. one of the possible outcomes of the experiment
F. Product

Assessment 2.
Directions: For each experiment, identify the outcome shown and the sample space.

1. 2.

BLUE RED GREEN YELLOW

RED BLUE
PINK

Outcome: ___________ Outcome: ___________

Sample Space: _______ Sample Space: _______

Assessment 3.
Directions: Illustrate the problems below.

1. Ten cards are numbered from 1 to 10. These cards are placed in a bag. One card is
to be picked randomly. What are the elements of the event of picking a prime
number?

NOTE: Prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two
smaller natural numbers.

2. Ten cards are labelled from A to J then placed in a box. Identify the following results
as to experiment, outcomes, sample space, sample point, or event.

1. S = {A, B, C, . . . J}
2. Picking a card in a box
3. Picking a card with vowel letter written on it.
4. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J
5. Picking card A, card B, card C, card D, card E, card J
