I. Introductory Concept

Prediction means to forecast or foretell the things to happen in the

future. In this lesson you are going to perform or make simple predictions
from the results of experiments. You will think of the probability that might
happen in the simple experiments you will perform.

II. Learning Skills from the MELCs

Makes simple predictions of events based on the results of
experimentsM6SP-IVh-21

III. Activities
1. Read and analyze ENGAGE on page 342 of 21st Century MATHletes 6
textbook.
2. Study EXPLORE on page 342
3. Tu further understand the lesson read and study EXPLAIN on page
344 – 350
Study Theoretical and Experimental Probability
Theoretical Probability of an event is the number of ways that
an event can occur divided by the total number of outcomes.
number of favorable outcomes
Theoretical Probability (event) = number of favorable outcomes

Example:
There are 6 possible ways for a die (singular of dice) to turn up.

a. What is the probability of rolling a 1? a 2? A 5?

Each number is equally likely to occur, so:
number of favorable outcomes 1

Probability (1) = number 0f possible outcomes = 6

number of favorable outcomes 1
Probability (2) = number of possible outcomes = 6

number of favorable outcomes 1

Probability (5) = number of possible outcomes = 6

b. How many ways will an even number occur?

There are 3 possible ways (2, 4 and 6) of rolling an even number

c. What is the probability that an even number will occur?

We have 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6), so:
number of favorable outcomes 3 1 or 50%
Probability (even number) = number of possible outcomes = 6 = 2

Experimental Probability of an event is the ratio of the number

of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the
activity
is performed.

We can also find the probability of an event by doing an

experiment. When we do this we are finding experimental probability.

number of times favorable outcomes occur

Experimental Probability = number of trials in the experiment

Example:

1. Take a marble from the bag.

2. Record the color and return the marble in the bag.
3. Repeat the process (at least 6 times)
4. Count the number of times a green marble was picked(suppose it is
3) Using the formula, we have

Experimental Probability (event) = number of times favorable outcomes occur

number of trials in the experiment

P (green marble) = 3/6

P (green marble) = 1/2

4. Answer the following (EVALUATION)

A. Each of the 11 letters of the word “MATHEMATICS” is written on a

separate card. The cards are placed faced down and shuffled. A card is
chosen at random. What is the probability that it will show each of the
following? Encircle the letter of the correct answer.
1. The letter M
a. 1/11 b. 2/11 c. 1/10 d. 2/10
2. A vowel
a. 4/11 b. 3/11 c. 2/11 d. 1/11
3. The letter E
a. 4/11 b. 3/11 c. 2/11 d. 1/11
4. The letter T
a. 4/11 b. 3/11 c. 2/11 d. 1/11

following:
5. An even number __________
6. A three __________

C. There are two empty seats next to each other on

a bus. Two boys and two girls get on the bus.
10. What is the probability that the two boys will sit in the empty seats?
__________
