events.
b. Find the probability of mutually and not mutually
exclusive events.
c. Value accumulated knowledge as means of

ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Fact or a Bluff?
If a card is drawn from an ordinary deck of 52
cards, find the probability that the card is
a.a red card? FACT (0.5)
BLUFF
b.a diamond card of a black card?
c.a diamond card or a face card? FACT (0.4)
Mutually exclusive events are events that have no
common outcomes. Not mutually exclusive events
are exact opposite of mutually exclusive events.

Mutually exclusive events A and B are events which
do not have any common outcome.

Non-mutually exclusive events A and B are events

which share at least one common outcome.
Solve the following problems.

 GROUP ACTIVITY
99 grade 10 students from Pongapong National High School are
interviewed if they are willing to join either volleyball (V) or
basketball (B) in the upcoming sports fest. Shown here is the
result of the survey.

99
 1. Construct a Venn Diagram
a. What is the probability of the students who are willing
to join volleyball? 55/99 = 0.5
b. What is the probability of the students who are willing
22/99 = 0.2
to join volleyball only?
c. What is the probability of the students who are willing
to join basketball?77/99 = 0.7
d. What is the probability of the students who are willing
to join basketball only?44/99 = 0.4
e. What is the probability of the students who are willing
to join volleyball and basketball? 33/99 = 0.3
The Illustration will be …
a. P(B)
To find P(B), we will add the probability that only B occurs to
the probability that B and V occur, thus
P(B) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.7

b. P(V) Similarly, P(V)= 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

c. Now, is the value 0.3 in the overlapping region.
d. P(B∪V)
Thus, P(B∪V)=P(B)+P(V)- P(B∩V) =0.7 + 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.9

OKEY KEYOOW
Compound events – defined as a composition of two
or more other events They can be formed in two ways:

• Union-the union of two events A and B, denoted as

A∪B, is the event that occurs if either A or B or both
occur on a single performance of an experiment.
• Intersection – the intersection of two events A and B,
denoted as A B, is the event that occurs if both A and B
occur on a single performance of the experiment.
