Greetings: Good Morning Class! Good morning Ma’am!

Opening Prayer: Before we start our

lesson, let us all stand and pray first. (Student A will pray)
Student A, kindly lead the prayer.

Now let’s have a game entitled “What is my

Level of Certainty?”
The mechanics are:
1. The class will be divided into 8 groups.
2. Flash cards will be given to each group
with Impossible, Unlikely, Even Chance,
Likely and Certain written on it.
3. Determine what scale are each short
statements fall whether impossible,
unlikely, even chance, likely, or certain to
happen by raising your flash card with your
answer after saying “DARNA!”
5. You are given 5 seconds to answer each
statement.

1. There is 50% chance that I will win the Likely

game.
2. The weather forecast gives 25 % chance Certain
of rain tomorrow. Impossible

From the given activity, what are the word The certainty of an event is the

happen.
Are you familiar with these?
Probability Ma’am.
Based on our activity, how do you describe
the certainty of an event?

What do we call this certainty or

uncertainty?

Very Good!

E. Development of the Lesson

What is a probability?

Very Good!

Probabilities are written as fractions or

decimals from 0 to 1 or as percent from 0%
to 100%. The higher an event ‘s
probability, the more likely that the event is
to happen.

Let us study the diagram.

Probability Rules:

1. If an event has a probability of 0, or 0%, Zero/Impossible Ma’am

then it will never happen or it is impossible
to happen. Because the faces of a die have
only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
Let’s say, A 7 turning up in a rolling a die
once.

What will be the probability of occurrence

of 7 in rolling a die?

How did you say so?

Very good! so the occurrence of 7 in rolling

a die is an impossible event.

2. If an event has a probability of .5 or 50% of winning and 50% losing

50%, then the event has the same chance the game.
or even chance to happen or not to
happen. In playing a chess game, the
 player may win or lose. So, there
For example, winning in playing chess with are ½ or 50% chance of winning
your friend. or losing the game.

What is the probability of winning or losing

the game?

How did you say so?

1 or 100% Ma’am
Very good! Hence, your chance of winning
or losing the game is an even event.

3. If an event has a probability of 1, or

100%, then the event is certain to happen.

If today is Monday, what will be the

probability that tomorrow is Tuesday?

Therefore, the event that tomorrow will be Head or Tail

a Tuesday if today is a Monday is a ½, 50 %
certain event. ½, 50 %

4. The sum of the probabilities of all the ½ + ½ = 1, 50% + 50% = 100%

outcomes of an experiment is 1.

For example, Flipping a fair coin once.

What are the possible outcomes?

What is the probability of getting a head?
What is the probability of getting a tail?
Therefore, what is the sum of the
probabilities of all the possible outcomes?

Very Good!

There are different types of probability and

our focus on this lesson is the Simple
Event, it is an experiment that can only
happen in one way - in other words, it has
a single outcome.

Let us compare the following examples:

Because it will have more than
one outcome. When you flip a
coin twice, this experiment

flipping a coin twice.
Why do we consider example 2 as not
simple event?

How do you describe a simple event?

The Probability of Simple Event can be

calculated using the formula: P(B) = ¼ Ma’am

P ( event )=

How did you arrive at your answer? A fair die has 6 faces and

are six possible outcomes that
could occur when we roll a die

numbers in a die (1,3,5).

marbles, 1 green marble and 2
black marbles, or a total of 12
marbles. Hence, there are 12

How many are the possible outcomes

P(blue or red) = ¾

outcomes? There are 5 blue marbles and 4
red marbles. Hence it gives us 9
