PROCEDURE MEETING THE LEARNERS’ NEEDS


Introduction/Review:
The teacher ask the given questions:
“What is probability”
“In probability, how do we conduct experiment? Give one example.”
“What is an outcome?”
“What is sample space?”
Motivation:
Entry Card:
List the sample space of the following experiments. Students recall their pass lessons about
probability and on how to get the sample
Experiment Sample Space space of a given experiment.

1. Tossing three coins

2. Rolling a die and tossing a coin simultaneously

3. Drawing a spade from a deck of cards

4. Getting a defective item when two items are randomly selected from a box
of two defective and three non-defective items
5. Drawing card A, B, and C consecutively.

Instruction/Delivery:
The teacher explain first what is variable. Then, activity 1 showing problem about defective cell phones is present Students understand the concept of variable
in class and the teacher let the learners enumerate the possible outcomes of three cell phones test in random and getting the random variable.
using two variables which is D for defective cell phone and N for non-defective cell phone and the teacher
explain how to get the random variable X which represent the number of defective cell phones. Organizing the sample space of the given
The teacher ask the learners what they have notice from the activity and from the answers the meaning of experiment and getting the value of the
random variable is derive. random variable X.
Activity 2 problem about getting blue ball from an urn is present in class and the teacher let the learners answer
on the board and explain how they derive on that answer. The same process was use in presenting the solution
on activity 3 which is the problem about tossing a coin and getting the random variable Z which represent the
number of tails.
The teacher present the meaning of discrete random variable and continuous random variable and ask the Students distinguish discrete random

computer at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N for defective and
non-defective computers, respectively. To each sample point assign a value x of the random variable X
representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly defective.

Enrichment: Enrich their knowledge by letting them
