The document outlines various counting methods and techniques used in experiments, including the tabular method, tree diagrams, systematic listing, and the fundamental counting principle. It provides examples for each method to illustrate how to organize and determine the number of possible outcomes in different scenarios. The lesson aims to help students appreciate the significance of these counting techniques in real-life applications.

& TECHNIQUES IN AN EXPERIMENT Lesson Outcomes At the end of the lesson, 85% of the students should be able to: a. identify the different counting methods and techniques in an experiment, b. organize the number of occurrences of an outcome in an experiment using (a) table, (b) tree diagram, (c) systematic listing, and (d) fundamental principle of counting, and c. appreciate the importance of the different counting methods and techniques of an experiment in real-life settings. A. Tabular Method This method uses columns and rows where to enter all possible outcomes of an experiment. Example 1: In a debate contest, the participants are divided into two groups so that members of Group 1 will be paired with members of Group 2. The members of group 1 are Elena, Estela, Felisa, and Mae while the members of Group 2 are Mark, Red, and Sam. Example 2: Maria always brings with her a handkerchief and a face mask whenever she goes out for an errand. If she has five handkerchiefs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and four face masks (blue, green, yellow, red), in how many ways can she pair her handkerchiefs to her face masks? Example 3: Euri has 5 pairs of socks (A, B, C, D, E) and 2 pairs of shoes (1,2) which he uses when he goes to church. How many ways can he use his pairs of socks and shoes? B. Tree Diagram It is a diagram used to show all possible outcomes in a probability experiment. It consists of line segments coming from a starting point to the outcome point. All possible outcomes are visually represented by the branches. Example 1: In tossing a coin twice, how many possible outcomes are there?
Example 2: In rolling a die once and tossing a coin once, how many possible outcomes are there in all? Example 3: Erwin is a lifestyle and food vlogger. Whenever he goes for work to create content for his channel, he will always bring with him a pair of spoon and fork. Erwin has 4 spoons (1, 2, 3, 4) and 3 forks (A, B, C). The number of possible ways Erwin will bring his pair of spoon and fork whenever he works can be shown in a tree diagram. C. Systemic Listing It is a method of determining the number of outcomes of an experiment by enumerating or making a list of all possible outcomes. This method, if not carefully and systematically done, there is a possibility that some possible outcomes are missed or left out. Example 1: In tossing a coin three times, how many possible outcomes are there? Example 2: Four students Elsa, Vicky, Easther, and Juliem went to attend a Holy Mass. When they reached the church, there were only three seats available. In how many ways can the four students be seated?
Example 3: In how many ways will a 5-item true or false test be answered? D. Fundamental Counting Technique The fundamental counting principle is a technique of finding the number of possible outcomes of an experiment without listing. We can find the total numbers of ways that two or more separate tasks can happen by multiplying the numbers of ways each teask can happen separately. Example 1: How many possible outcomes are there if a die is rolled once and a coin is tossed once?
Example 2: Using the digits from 1 to 9, how many 3-digit numbers can be formed if repetition of digits is a. allowed? b. not allowed ?
