e. Review
Before we proceed to our lesson, let us
first recall what was our topic yesterday.

Can anyone tell me what was

yesterday’s discussion? Our discussion yesterday is about
parallel and perpendicular lines, ma’am.

When can you say that it is parallel and

perpendicular line? It is a parallel line when there is two
line that never intersects, while
perpendicular line is when two lines
intersect and forms a 90°.
B. Motivation

Direction: You will choose three number (The students will participate actively)
from 1-6. I will roll the die three times
and list the three numbers on the board Possible Outcomes: 1-2-3, 1-2-4, 1-2-5,
that will come up. Whoever can get the 1-2-6, 2-3-5, 2-3-4, 2-3-6, 3-4-5, 3-5-6,
three numbers will have a reward. 4-5-6, 4-6-1, 3,6,1.

C. Presentation
How do you find our activity?

The activity that we have just done has a

connection to our new lesson for today.
What do you think will be our lesson? It is about probability, Ma’am.

D. Discussion

Basic concept of probability

Will you please read what is our
objectives? At the end of the lesson, the students are
expected to:
a. Demonstrates understanding of key
concepts of probability.
b. Formulate and solve practical
problems involving probability of
simple events.
c. Illustrates an experiment, outcome,
sample space and event.
Probability
What comes into your mind when you
hear the word probability? Possible answers:
Predict
Chance/ chances
Expectations
Possibility
When you are watching the news, then
you hear that there will be a 90% chance
of rain, what will you do then? Possible answer:
I will not go to school.
I will bring an umbrella.
Weather forecast is an example of
probability.

Will you please read what is the

meaning of probability? Probability is the measure or estimation
of how likely an event is to occur which
can be expressed as fraction, decimal, or
a percent.
Usually in mathematics we deal with
things that are certain and always
happen like if we add 1+1, what is the
sum?
The sum is equals to 2.
Or if we multiply 5x2, what is the
product? The product is equals to 10.

Meaning there is no uncertainty at all.

But in real world many things can’t be
predicted with total certainty

To understand it easier we have here the

probability line.

What can you observe on our probability

line? In the figure we have 0-1. 0 is
impossible meaning it will not happen
 or it will never happen. 1 means certain
or you are sure that it will happen.

Levels of probability

Impossible – It will never happen.

Example:
Getting a 7 on a die (The students will listen attentively)

Unlikely: There is a small chance that it

will happen.
Example:
Getting yellow on a wheel

Even-chance = There is a 50/50 chance

that it will happen.
Example:
Tossing a coin

Likely-There is a high chance that it will

happen.
Example:
Getting black ball on a jar with 2 white
balls and 8 black balls.
Certain
Getting a green pencil out of 10 green
pencils.

Tell whether the event is certain,

possible, and impossible to happen.

A mother will give birth to twins.

It is possible.
Tamarind is sour.
It is certain.
You will go sunbathing tonight.
It is impossible.
It will snow in the Philippines.
It is impossible.
I can count the hair on my head.
It is impossible.
My crush will crush me back.
It is possible.
Ma’am Nicka Is beautiful.
It is certain.
I will reach up to 100 years old.
It is possible.

Here are the terminologies use in the

basic concepts of probability.

Experiment
Can you please read what is an
experiment.
Experiment is a chance process that
leads to a well-defined result called
outcome.
Example:
You are conducting an experiment when:
You roll a die.

(The students will listen attentively)

Tossing/flipping a coin.

Spinning a wheel

After you conduct an experiment or an

activity you will be having an outcome.

Outcome
What is an outcome, can you please
read?
An outcome is the result of a single trial
Example: of an experiment.
You will have an outcome when:
Flip/toss a coin.

What are the possible outcomes if we

flip a coin?

Experiment Outcome
Flip a coin
Sample space
Experiment Outcome
Flip a coin Head(H), Tail(T)
Can you please read what is a sample
space?
Sample space is the set of all possible
outcomes of an experiment. It is
denoted by S. The total number of
In sample space we just need to list all possible outcomes is denoted by n(S).
the possible outcomes and write the total
number of possible outcomes.

Example:
Flipping/tossing a coin

What is our sample space we flip a coin.

Event 3
Can you please read what is event?
Event is any set of one or more
outcomes satisfying some given
It is the condition that you want to get. conditions.

Example:

head

For each sample problem identify the

experiment outcome, sample space, total
number of possible outcomes.
