 Greetings

Before we go further, let me remind you about our classroom rules:

1. Respect everyone
2. Participate during class discussion and listen to the teacher verry
well.
3. Be quite specially when your teacher or classmates are talking.
4. Just raise your right hand if you want to answer. Do not answer me in
chorus.

Let’s have first a review about our previous lesson. Last meeting, we
discussed about Hinge Theorem.
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or Presenting the Instruction: Complete the statement by writing ‘’<, = or >” in each box.
new lesson
B. Establishing a purpose Today, you will learn about basic concepts of probability. But what is
for the lesson Probability? When we try to translate the term Probability in Visayan it
means “KALAGMITAN’’ (Mother Tongue)

Let me start off with the question, what is the probability of a pig fly? Can
a pig fly? No, it cannot!

The probability of a pig being able to fly is zero.

Okay, another one.
What is the probability of getting natural number of rolling a die?
No matter how the die rolled you will get a number from 1 – 6. And all of
these are natural numbers. So, the probability is one. You will definitely
get a natural number on rolling a die.

The probability of zero also means that, there is a zero percent chance of
the event occurring. It is an impossible event. On the other hand, a
probability of one tells us there is a hundred percent chance of the event
occurring. It is a certain event that brings us the important point of
probability. That the probability of every event will lie between zero and
one enclosing.

Since, we already know the important point of probability. Let us now

have an activity. In which you are going to determine if a certain activity
is Impossible or a Certain event.

Impossible event – there is a zero percent chance that event occurring.

Certain event – there is a hundred percent chance that event occurring.

Activity 1:
Instruction: Determine if the given statement is Impossible or a Certain
event.
1. Your heart will beat.
2. There are three Fridays in a week.
3. It will snow in Maranding.
4. Every day the sun will rise.
5. Sunday comes after Saturday.
Key answers:
1. Certain event
2. Impossible event
3. Impossible event
4. Certain event
5. Certain event
Your friends may invite you to play a basketball in the afternoon after
your face-to-face classes. But you are uncertain whether you can join
them or not, especially when you have an important test on the next day.
You may be uncertain about your decisions. You may decide that you will
 probably not join. But how probable is it? Are you 100% sure that you
will not join? The measure you will assign to such decisions is called
probability. (Integrating ESP/Decision Making).

Since, you have already got an idea about probability. Let us now proceed
with the basic terms of probability.

Probability – is the chance that something will happen.

C. Presenting
Experiment – it is any activity with observable result.
examples/instances of the
Outcome – is any possible result of an experiment.
new lesson
Sample point – is just one of the possible outcomes.
Sample space – it is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
- It is usually denoted by the symbol S.
Event – refers to any subset of sample space.
Example 1: Tossing a coin

D. Discussing new concepts

and practicing new skills
#1

Let us try an illustrative example for better understanding. Suppose you are
tossing a single coin and that is your experiment. As we know when we are
tossing a coin the possible outcomes either be a head or a tail. Then when you
list all these outcomes and that will be our sample space. Thus, the sample
space of tossing a single coin can be written as: S = {Head, Tail} or S = {H,
T}. and the event for example, we are letting event E be “getting a head” in
tossing a coin. Hence, our event is consisting of the element head ‘’E =
{Head} or E = {H}S.

Example 2: Rolling a die

Outcome.
1. Tossing a coin.

3. Getting number 2 in rolling a die.
4. Picking colors from the spinner.
5. Getting a head in single tossed coin.

B. Identify the sample Space of the following.

1. Choosing one of the days of the week.
2. Choosing a vowel from the English alphabet.
3. Guessing a multiple of 3 that is less than 25.

1. Experiment
2. Experiment
3. Outcome
4. Experiment
5. Outcome
B.
1. S = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Sunday}
2. S = {A, E, I, O, U}
3. S = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24}

Probability exists in our daily life. During the discussion, you’ve known the
uses and application of probability in our life. Tossing a coin is one of the
G. Finding practical most important events before the start of the match like playing a Tennis,
applications of concepts Volleyball, Sepak takraw, Badminton, Basketball or even in politics. When a
and skills in daily living coin is tossed, there is an equally likely outcome of getting either a head or
tail, so tossing a coin is fair way of deciding.
