2. Illustrates dependent events; and
3. Solves problems involving dependent events.
II. Subject Matter
Topic: Probability of Dependent Events
Reference: Mathematics 10 Quarter 3 Module, Google
Materials: PowerPoint presentation
TV

III. Procedure
A. Preparation
1. Prayer
The teacher will call someone from the class to lead the prayer.
2. Greetings
The teacher will greet the students.
3. Classroom Management
The teacher will ask the students to arrange their chairs and pick up the pieces of trash near them.
4. Checking of Attendance
The teacher will check if there is any absentee for the day.
B. Review
Guide questions:
1. What is the topic yesterday?
2. What is independent events?
3. What is the formula in finding the probability of independent events?
C. Motivation
Teacher will ask questions which will be answered throughout the discussion.
D. Lesson Proper
Dependent events - if the outcome of one event has an effect on the outcome of the second event.
without replacement
These events are affected by the outcomes that had already occurred previously.
Two or more events that depend on one another are known as dependent events. If one is by chance
changed, then another is likely to differ.
When two events, A and B are dependent, the probability of occurrence of A and B is:
P(A and B) = P(A) ‧ P(B|A)
Example no.1
A box contains 3 red marbles, 4 green marbles and 3 blue marbles. One marble is removed from the box,
and it is not replaced. Another marble is drawn from the box. What is the probability that the first
marble is green, and the second marble is blue?
Solution:
P(green) = 4/10 or 2/5
Example no. 2
A box of chocolates contains two milk chocolates, five dark chocolates, and three white chocolates. You
randomly select and eat three chocolates. Find the probability that you select white chocolate, another
white chocolate, and then dark chocolate.
Solution:
P(white, white, dark) = ?
P(white) = 3/10
P(white) = 2/9
P(dark) = 5/8
P(w,w,and d) = 3/10 x 2/9 x 5/8 = 6/90 x 5/8 = 30/720 = 1/24
Example no. 3
You randomly select two marbles from a bag that contains 14 green, 7 blue and 9 red marbles. What is
the probability that the first marble is blue and the second marble is not blue if :
a. you replace the first marble before selecting the second; and
b. you do not replace the first marble?
Solution:
A. If you replace the first marble before selecting the second marble, then A and B are independent
events. So, the probability is:
B. If you do not replace the first marble before selecting the second marble, then A and B are dependent
events. So, the probability is:
Solution:
P(A and B and C) = P(A) ‧ P(B|A) ‧ P(C|A and B)
E. Generalization
F. Application
H. EVALUATION
DIRECTION: Decide if each set of events is independent or dependent. Explain your answer
2. A boy chooses a sock from a drawer of socks, then chooses a second sock without replacing the first.
3. A student picks a raffle ticket from a box, replaces the ticket, then picks a second raffle ticket.
ASSIGNMENT
Think of real life situations which will show the probability of dependent events.
