Determine whether each of the
following underlined phrases illustrates an Experiment, Outcome, Sample Space or an Event. 1. Two teams decided to flip a coin once to determine who plays first. 2. You rolled a die once and the number 2 turned up. 3. You were asked to select a girl at random in your class. 4. Lorna selects an outfit from these choices: {𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑗𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠, 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑦 𝑗𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠, 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑗𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠, 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑦 𝑗𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠} 5. There are red, green, and yellow candies inside the box of teacher Anne as a reward to her students. Jay as one of the students hopes to get a yellow candy. 6. In playing a snake and ladder game, you hope to get a number 5 in rolling a die once to win a game. 7. The set of possible outcomes of getting composite number from the counting numbers 5 to 10 is S = {6, 8, 9, 10}. Which of the following terms describes this set of outcomes? 8. Which is referred to as an activity involving chance that can have different results? 9. What do you call the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment? 10. Which is referred to as the results of an experiment? 1. Experiment 2. Outcome 3. Experiment 4. Sample Space 5. Event 6. Event 7. Event 8. Experiment 9. Sample Space 10. Outcome(s) Counting Methods and Techniques in an Experiment Activity: How many are we? Directions: A pair of dice is rolled once. Observe how the possible outcomes are presented and answer the questions below. In this lesson, we will study on how to count all possible outcomes of an experiment. Let us consider first the two equally important concepts, the counting methods, and the counting techniques. Counting methods are particular ways of doing something like making decisions and predicting outcomes while Counting techniques are the ability to apply a particular task skillfully. A.Tabular Method - This method uses columns and rows where to enter all possible outcomes of an experiment. Example 1: In a debate contest, the participants are divided into two groups so that members of Group 1 will be paired with members of Group 2. The members of Group 1 are Elena, Estela, Felisa, and Mae while the members of Group 2 are Mark, Red, and Sam. The number of possible pairings is shown in the table below. Example 2. Maria always brings with her a handkerchief and a face mask whenever she goes out for an errand. If she has five handkerchiefs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and four face masks (blue, green, yellow, red), in how many ways can she pair her handkerchiefs to her face masks? Observe how it is done using a table. Example 3. Euri has 5 pairs of socks (A, B, C, D, E) and 2 pairs of shoes (1, 2) which he uses when he goes to church. How many ways can he use his pairs of socks and shoes? This is how it is done using a table. B. Tree Diagram - It is a diagram used to show all the possible outcomes in a probability experiment. It consists of line segments coming from a starting point to the outcome point. All possible outcomes are visually represented by the branches. Example 1. In tossing a coin twice, how many possible outcomes are there? Example 2. In rolling a die once and tossing a coin once, how many possible outcomes are there in all? C. Systematic Listing - It is a method of determining the number of outcomes of an experiment by enumerating or making a list of all possible outcomes. This method, if not carefully and systematically done, there is a possibility that some possible outcomes are missed or left out. Example 1. In tossing a coin three times, how many possible outcomes are there? The number of outcomes can be determined by systematic listing such as HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. This gives us 8 possible outcomes in tossing a coin three times. Example 2. Four students Elsa, Vicky, Easther, and Juliem went to attend a Holy Mass. When they reached the church, there were only three seats available. In how many ways can the four students be seated? using systematic listing? Observe how it is done. There are 24 ways for the four students to be seated three at a time.
