What’s In

From the previous module you were able to count the number of occurrences of an
outcome in an experiment using table, tree diagram, systematic listing and by the use of the
fundamental counting principle. Let us recall some of the important terms in your previous
lesson.

Rolling a die, tossing a coin, picking a card randomly or choosing a marble from a jar
or in a box, which could be repeated over and over again and which have well-defined
results are called experiments. Each possible result of an experiment is called an outcome.
And the set of all possible outcomes is the sample space n(s) of the experiment.

Now let us start our lesson in this module by answering the following questions:

1. Three coins are tossed. How many outcomes are possible?

List all outcomes inside the box.

______________ possible outcomes.

2. Two dice are rolled. How many outcomes are possible?
List all possible outcomes in the table below.

3. A circle is divided into 8 equal parts to form a spinner and 8 3

space. 9 5

4. Aiyesha Raine is planning to buy a new car. The dealer gave her a brochure about
the options.

a. How many combinations are possible with a choice of one exterior color (red,
blue, black, white, or pink), one interior upholstery (leather or cloth), and one
accessory (car cover, tire inflator, vacuum, or a set of air freshener).

______________ combinations.

b. Aiyesha Raine decides she wants a pink car, how many combinations she would
have?

______________ combinations.

How was the activity you just have done? Were you able to answer
each item correctly? Your knowledge in counting outcomes specially
the skill using the fundamental principle of counting will be a big
help in answering the rest of this module.

 What’s New

The spread of COVID-19 really

changes a lot on how we do things today.
Tomorrow became uncertain for some of
us especially to those students whose
parents have lost their job or in some, had a
lesser income due to lessen workdays.
Wearing face masks and face shield in
going outside of our houses becomes
certain. It is likely that if you go outside in
the comport of our home, everyone you will
see will be wearing these things. Face
masks and face shields helps us not to
obtain the deadly disease or somehow
lessens the probability of us having
COVID-19.

What is It

Definition

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerned with analyzing the chance that a
particular event will occur. Its purpose is to attempt to predict the likelihood that something
will or will not happen.

Impossible Unlikely Equal Chances Likely Certain

1
0 1
2

The probability of an event denoted by P(E) is a number from 0 to 1 which tells how likely the
event is to happen. The closer the number to 1 means that the event is likely to happen
while if it approaches 0 it lessen the likelihood of the event to happen. A probability of 0
means the event will not happen while a probability of 1 means the event is certain to
happen.

5
Probability of an event is given by the formula below:

𝐧 (𝐞 ) number of favorable outcomes

Probability of an event P(E) = =
𝐧(𝐬) number of possible outcomes

Probability Rules

1. The probability of any event is a number (either a fraction, a decimal, or a percent

from 0 to 1)

The weather forecast shows a 70% rain.

7
P(rain) = 70% or in fraction or 0.7 in decimal.
10

2. If an event will never happen, then its probability is 0.

When a single die is rolled, find the probability of getting an 8.

Since the sample space consists of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6} it is impossible to get an 8.

0
Hence, P(8) = =0
6

3. If an event is sure to happen, then the probability is 1.

When a single die is rolled, what is the probability of getting a number less than 7?

Since all the outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6} are less than 7, then

6
P(number less than 7) = =1
6

4. The sum of all the probabilities of all the outcomes in the sample space is 1.

In rolling a fair die, each outcome in the sample space has a probability of and

there are 6 outcome.

Let us continue our lesson by checking your answers in the activity ‘What’s In’ and
answering the additional questions in each tasks.

1. Three coins are tossed. How many outcomes are possible?

List all the outcomes in the box. What is the probability of getting two heads and a
tail?

HHH HHT HTH THH

HTT THT TTH TTT

Solutions:
n(s) = 2(2)(2) = 8 possible outcomes

n(two heads and a tail): {HHT, HTH, THH}; 3 possible outcomes

P(two heads and a tail) =
8

2. Two dice are rolled. How many outcomes are possible?

List all possible outcomes in the table below. What is the probability of getting a sum

P(sum of 10) = =

3. A circle is divided into 8 equal parts to form a spinner and numbered as shown on the
right side. Write down the sample space. What is the probability of getting an even
number?, an odd number?

4. Aiyesha Raine is planning to buy a new car. The dealer gave her a brochure about
the options.

a. How many combinations are possible with a choice of one exterior color (red,
blue, black, white, or pink), one interior upholstery (leather or cloth), and one
accessory (car cover, tire inflator, vacuum, or a set of air freshener). What is the
probability that she will choose a blue car?, a leather upholstery? And a set of air
freshener as an accessory?

Solutions:
n(s) = 5(2)(4) = 40 possible outcomes

Exterior color 5 choices (red, blue, black, white, or pink)

1
P(blue car) =
5

Interior upholstery 2 choices (leather or cloth)

P(leather upholstery) =
2

Accessory 4 choices (car cover, tire inflator, vacuum, or a set of air freshener)

1
P(air freshener) =

b. Aiyesha Raine decides she wants a pink car, how many combinations she would
have?

Solutions:
n(s) = 1(2)(4) = 8 possible outcomes

Did you get all the answers right in ‘What’s In’? Now let us continue the lesson in discussing
with other examples of probabilities:

1. A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of cards. Find the probability of drawing:
a. a King b. a heart c. a face card d. not a king

Solutions:
An ordinary deck of cards consists of 52 cards, so n(s) = 52. There are 4 Kings,
13 hearts, and 12 face cards. If we denote the event of getting a King to be K, the event of
getting a heart to be H, and the event of getting a face card to be F, n(K) = 4, n(H) = 13, and
n(F) = 12.

4 1 13 1 12 3
a. P(K) = = b. P(H) = = c. P(F) = =
52 13 52 4 52 13

d. There are 4 Kings in an ordinary deck of cards. Hence there are 48 (52 – 4) cards
which are not Kings. If we denote the event of not getting a King to be B, then
n(B) = 48.

48 12 1
P(B) = or if we take note that the probability of getting a King is P(K) = then
52 13 13
1 13 1 12
the probability of not getting a King is simply P(B) = 1- = - =
13 13 13 13

2. A glass jar contains marbles of which 20 are pink, 15 are yellow and 10 are blue. If a
marble is to be drawn at random, what is the probability that the colour will be:
a. pink? b. yellow? c. blue? d. not a blue?

Solutions: There are (20 + 15 + 10) = 45 marbles in all.

20 4 10 2
a. P(pink) = = c. P(blue) = =
45 9 45 9

15 1 2 7
b. P(yellow) = = d. P(not blue) = 1 – P(blue) = 1 - =
45 3 9 9

3. If one letter is chosen at random from the word TRUSTWORTHY, what is the probability
that the letter chosen is:
a. A? b. T? c. R? d. a consonant?

Solutions: n(s) = 11, n(A) = 0, n(T) = 3, n(R) = 2, n(consonant) = 9

a. P(A) = =0 c. P(R) =

Independent Activity 3

KING OF CARDS!

The probability theory is generally considered to have originated in the

sixteenth century when the Italian physician, mathematician, and gambler
____________________ wrote the first theoretical study of probabilities in
gambling (the Book on Game of Chance). However it
was not viewed as a serious branch of mathematics
because of its association with gambling. It was
shown to be a serious area of interest only when
Jacob Bernoulli’s Ars Conjectandi (Art of Guessing)
was published in 1713. Although its focus was on
gambling, it also gave application of probability to
monk, was also among who helped change this view
when he used probabilities to analyze the effects of
randomness in genetics.

Directions: Determine who is considered to be the father of probability and

wrote the book entitled “Book on Game of Chance” by
completing the activity below.

Suppose you draw one card at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.
