B. Presentation
Presentation of topic and lesson objectives. B. Presentation
- This morning we are going to discuss the basic
concepts of probability. But first let me present to
you our lesson objectives.
- Kindly read this class, all together. - 1. identify the different concepts of probability
2. perform the probability experiment
3. express appreciation on the importance of
probability in real-life
- Thank you! Let us achieve these during our - Yes sir
discussion class.

- Before learning the basic concepts of probability,
let us first discuss what is probability?
- Do you have any idea? - No sir
- Kindly read the definition.
- Probability is the chance that something will
- Thank you! Events cannot be predicted with total happen.
certainty. We can say, “How likely they are to
happen.” Like for example in the game that we
played we could not really tell the exact result. We
only make predictions either it will be a head or a
tail.

- Do you understand class?

- Yes sir
- The first basic concept of probability is probability
experiment.

- What is experiment? Kindly read the definition.

- Probability Experiment is a chance process that

probability experiment. Can you give me another
game which is an example of probability
experiment?
(Rolling a die, drawing a ball in the lottery and

please.
(The students will clap their hands)
- What is an outcome? Kindly read the definition.

- If I am going to roll a die, like this, what is now the - Outcome is the result of a single trial of an
outcome? experiment.
- (The students will tell the outcome)
- In other words it is the result of a probability
experiment.

- Do you follow so far?

- The next basic concept is sample space. Kindly - Yes sir

read the definition.
- Sample space is the set of all the possible
- From the last experiment of rolling a die, what is outcomes.
the sample space?
- (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
- Very good

- Another basic concept is sample point. Please - Sample point is just one of the possible outcomes.
read the definition.
- Head
- Who can tell to the class the sample point in
flipping a coin? - Tail
(The students will clap their hands)
- Very good. Clap your hands please.

- Event is any set of one or more outcomes

- The last basic concept of probability is event. satisfying some given conditions.
What is an event? Please read the definition.
 Examples:
Thank you! Have you observe that events are like a. Getting a TTT when flipping a coin thrice
outcomes which have condition to be satisfied. b. Choosing a “Queen” from a deck of cards (any of the 4
Queens)
c. Getting an “odd number” (1, 3, or 5) when rolling a die

- Are all those clear? - Yes sir

- Do you have any questions or clarifications? - No sir
- For you to be more knowledgeable about the
topic, I will divide the class in to two groups. One
group will go to online station and the other group
will go to the offline station. You will have 5 - Online Station
