Probability LP
I. Objectives
Students are expected to:
a. Illustrate the probability of a union of two events and intersection of two events.
b. Illustrate and find the probability of mutually exclusive events;
c. Illustrate independent and dependent events;
d. Find probability of independent and dependent events;
e. Identify conditional probability; and
f. Solve problems on conditional probability.
III. Procedure
Preliminaries:
a. Arranging of chairs
b. Checking of Attendance
A. Motivation
Mind Tricks
Let the students pick a number 1-100 and the teacher will predict the number they picked.
B. Analysis
1. How the number does significantly predicted.
2. Can you explain/show me the ways?
C. Abstraction
Events – a set of possible outcomes resulting from a particular experiment. For example, a
possible event when a single six-sided dice is rolled is {5,6}, that is, the roll could be a 5 or
6. In general, an event is any subset o a simple space (including the possibility of an empty
set).
Compound Events – a composition of two or more simple events.
Mutually Exclusive Events – events that have no outcomes in common. This also means
that if two or more events are mutually exclusive, they cannot happen at the same time.
This is also referred to as disjoint events.
Dependent Event – Two events are dependent if the occurrence of one event does affect
the occurrence of the other (e.g., random selection without replacement).
Independent Events – events in which the probability of any one event occurring is
unaffected by the occurrence or non-occurrence of any of the other events. Formally, A and
B are independent if and only if P(AIB) = P(A).
Example:
1. You have 105 employees and you need to select a committee of 3. How many ways
you can do it?
2. How many polygons can be possibly formed from 6 distinct points on a plane, no three
of which are collinear?
D. Application
Answer the following with your group:
Give 3 examples of situations in real life that illustrate combinations. In each solution,
1. Formulate problem
2. Solve problem
3. Explain how this particular problem may help you in formulating conclusions and/or
making decisions.
IV. Evaluation

1. What do you call of the selection of the objects from a set when the order is not important?
A. Combination C. Permutation

A. 7 B. 8 C.9 D.10
4. What is C(8,6)?

5. If ice cream is served in a cone, in how many ways can Abby choose her three – flavor ice
cream scoop if there are 6 available favors?
