OBJECTIVE
• Counts the number of occurrences of an
outcome in an experiment:
a) Table
b) Tree Diagram
c) Systematic Listing
d) Fundamental Counting Principle
Review
Experiment
is a process that has a number of distinct possible outcomes in
which the result cannot be predicted with certainty. It can be in
the form of making observations or taking measurements. It is
also a process of repeating an activity whose outcomes are
limited to well-defined choices
Choosing outfits
Tossing a coin
Rolling a die
Outcome
any possible result of an experiment.
Example: Rolling a die
Tossing a coin
Head Tail
Sample Space
is the set of all the possible outcomes or sample
points. It is denoted by “S.” While the “number of
sample space” is denoted by n(S).
Example:
The sample space in tossing a coin: { Head(H), Tail (T) }, then n
(s) = 2.
The sample space in rolling a die : { 1,2,3,4,5,6}, then n(s)= 6
Sample point -is just one of the possible outcomes.
Example:
Sample point in rolling a die : {2}
Tree Diagram
a tree diagram may be used to represent a probability space. Tree diagrams may
represent a series of independent events or conditional probabilities. Each node on the
diagram represents an event and is associated with the probability of that event.
Example: Using tree diagram, determine the possible outcomes and sample space of rolling
a die and tossing a coin together:
Outcomes

Systematic Listing
Is a way of writing all the possible outcomes of a particular
event or experiment.

Grid Table
Grid table is a counting
technique which is used when there
are two sets of choices. One choice
is written in the vertical axis and the
other is written in horizontal axis.

= 6 ways
Example 1
size flavor
You decide to get a popcorn
at a movie theatre. The B (R,B)
popcorn comes in regular, R
C (R,C)
large, jumbo sizes and have a
choice whether buttered or B (L,B)
L
cheese. Construct a tree C (L,C)
diagram to determine the
possible choices for your B (J,B)
J
popcorn. C (J,C)
S = {(R,B),(R,C),(L,B),(L,C),(J,B),(J,C)}
Three strangers meet Person 1 Person 2
and shake hands. One
person can only shake
hands with another B (A,B)
A
person once. How many C (A,C)
handshakes were made? B C (B,C)
C
S = {(A,B)(A,C)(B,C)}
Activity
Mari is deciding what to eat during lunch. She tossed a
coin. When a Head come up, she will go to Jollibee and
order one of the following (C5,S5,Y5). When a tail
comes up, she will roll a die. If it yields an odd number
she will go to Pancake House and order BP2(2
blueberry pancakes). If the die yields an even number
that is a prime number, she will go to Italliani’s and
order BT(beef tenderloin). Otherwise, she will not eat
her lunch.
Thank you and
God bless!
