Class, last meeting we have discussed Ma’am! (Students are raising their right
about what? hands).
Yes Mr. Lamalan? We have discussed about the Types of
Events and Probability of each event.
Right! So what is Probability? - (Students are raising their hands)

Yes, Mr. Lamalan? - Probability of an event refers to the

chances that a certain thing will occur
or not.

Correct! We’ve also discussed the - (Students are raising their hands)
different types of events. Who can
enumerate?

Yes, Miss Lama? - The different types of events are

Independent, Dependent, Mutually
Exclusive and Mutually Inclusive.

Very good!

Learning Task 2: Motivation Learning Task 2: Motivation

Class, let’s test your understanding

about the concept of our last topic.

I have prepared one problem to be

solved. Anyone who could answer it first
within 1 minute will have additional
points. Ready? - Yes Ma’am!

Here’s the problem:

Sam owns a large fish store with many
colors of fish. He keeps all of the fish in
a large aquarium. In his main aquarium,
he has 5 red fishes, 6 blue fishes, 14
white fishes and 5 green fishes. A
customer comes into the store and
wants to buy a blue fish to take home.
What is the probability that Sam will
reach in and scoop out a blue fish on his
first scoop?
Class, your one minute starts now! - Okay Ma’am.
- Ma’am, I got it! (Student raise his
hand).

Well, Charles has already the answer. - The probability of getting blue fish on
What is it Charles? the first scoop is 1/5.

How did you arrive with that answer - Since the formula to calculate
Charles? Kindly explain here in front. probability is the number of possible
outcomes over the number of total
outcomes, we need first to add the 5
red fishes+ 6 blue fishes+14 white
fishes + 5 green fishes=30. We must
also know the number of possible
outcomes. In the aquarium, there are
only 6 blue fishes. So the number of
possible outcomes is six. Thus, the
probability is 6/30 or 1/5.

Very well said! Class, I hope you also

got it right. - Yes Ma’am!

Learning Task 3: Activity Learning Task 3: Activity
Students will be grouped into four
through counting off. Each group will
have an assigned leader. Also, each
group will be given handouts, Manila
Paper, and markers to be used for their
presentation. They will examine the
given problems in the worksheet
provided. After 7 minutes, two persons
from each group will present their output
in the class with 3 minutes allotted time
for presentation.
Class, are you now ready for our
activity? - Yes Ma’am!

Group 2: Group 2 Solution:

A box is filled with candies in different To get the sample space we must get the
colors. We have 40 white candies, 24 total number of possible outcomes, that is:
green ones, 12 red ones, 24 yellow ones n(S)= 40+24+12+24+20=120
and 20 blue ones. If we have selected Next we’ll identify the possible outcomes of
one candy from the box without peeking each event:
into it, find the probability of getting a n(A)= 24
green or red candy. n(B)=12
Then we’ll solve for their individual
Sample Space or n(S)=____ probabilities:
Possible outcomes of getting a green P(A)=24/120= 1/5
candy or n(A)=___ P(B)= 12/120= 1/10
Possible outcomes of getting a red Using the formula for the union of two
candy or n(B)=____ events, we have now:
Probability of getting a green P(A or B)= P(A)+ P(B)= 1/5 + 1/10= 3/10
candy=____
Probability of getting a red candy=_____
P(A or B)=_____ Group 3 Solution:

________________________________ Probability of getting an ace=4/52 or 1/13
Probability of getting a king=________ P(A or B)=P(A) + P(B)= 4/52 +4/52=8/52 or
Probability of getting an ace=________ 2/13
P(A or B)=_______

Group 4: Group 4 Solution:

A card is randomly drawn from a
standard deck of cards. What is the
probability that the card is a red card or
a face card? Make a Venn Diagram to
illustrate the two sets of events.

What kind of events are getting a red

card or getting a face card (mutually

________________________________ P(A or B)
The events are mutually inclusive because

P(A or B)=_______ 3/13
Probability of getting red face cards or

Learning Task 4: Analysis Learning Task 4: Analysis

Class, all of you had done well in our
activity. - Thank you Ma’am.
So, from the problems you have
examined and presented, how many - There were two events involved
events were involved Mr. Agor? Ma’am.
Very Good.
Will you give me those types of events
that you have solved in your activity - Mutually Exclusive and Mutually
Miss Palmes? Inclusive events.
Correct! Class, if you consider all
possibilities for either of two events A
and B, you form union of two events.
But, if you only consider events shared
by two events you form intersection of
two events.
The union or intersection of two events Our topic now, is all about the Probability of

you think our topic all about? Mr.
Factor?
Right!

So, in our problem no. 1, what are the - Choosing a book and choosing a
two events, Miss Estrella? notebook Ma’am.

Very good! Choosing a book and

choosing a notebook are union of two
events.

How about in our Problem no. 2, what - Getting a red and green candies
are the compound events, Ms. Caccam? Ma’am.

Right! How about in Problem No. 3, Mr. - Selecting a king and an ace Ma’am.
Hablero?
Very good! So, from the problem 3, are - There is none Ma’am.
there any common outcomes between
our compound events Mr. Factor?

Correct! Meaning there is no intersection - Yes Ma’am.

between our two events, right class? -
- They are mutually exclusive events
Therefore, they are what type of events, Ma’am.
Jin?
Correct! If two events are mutually
exclusive, the formula for finding its - Yes Ma’am!
Probability is P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
Got it class?

Lastly, in our problem No. 4, what are - Selecting a red card and a face card
the two events, Mr. Borantes? Ma’am.

Correct! In our problem no. 4, are there

any common outcomes between our - Yes Ma’am!
compound events, Miss Lama?

How many and what are those? - There are 6 common outcomes
Ma’am. King of hearts, king of
diamonds, Queen of hearts, queen of
diamonds, Jack of hearts and Jack of
diamonds.

Therefore, what kind of event is our They are mutually inclusive events Ma’am.
problem no. 4, Mr. Labarosa?

Correct! If the two events are mutually

inclusive which means there is/are
outcome/s shared by the two events, the
Formula for finding its probability is P(A
or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B). Hence,
you subtract the probability of the
intersection of the two events. Got it - Yes Ma’am!
Class?

Learning Task 5: Generalization Learning Task 5: Generalization

Okay, let’s generalize what you have

learned.
Now class, how do you define - Compound events are combination of

intersection or mutually exclusive, how
will you solve its probability Mr. - We’ll going to use the formula P(A or
Lamalan? B) = P(A) + P(B).

Correct! How about if two events have

intersection or mutually inclusive, how
will you find its probability Mr. Gallinero? - We’ll going to apply the formula P(A
or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B).
Correct! This time let’s apply what you
have learned.

Class, raise your right hand if you want
to answer.
1. If a dice is rolled then what is the
probability of getting a 4 or a 6?

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)= 1/6 + 1/6
=2/6 or 1/3.

2. Suppose you play a spinning

game. A spinner has 12 sectors.
In spinning the spinner, what is
the probability that it may stop on
blue or green?

Correc Mr. Grino. Will you show us your - 6/12 or ½ Ma’am.

way of solving it? The events are also mutually exclusive,
therefore I used the formula:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)= 3/12 + 3/12= 6/12
or ½.

3. A card is drawn from a well-

shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find
the probability of getting a queen
 or a diamond?
Yes, Miss Palmes?
Correct! Kindly show us your solution
and explain it.
Okay! I think all of you are now ready for

the individual probabilities of each card.
- P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)=
4/52 + 13/52 – 1/52= 16/52 or 4/13.
