B. Establishing a Purpose for the Lesson

This activity is entitled “Dress Me Up”

Directions:

 Each group will be given an envelope.

 Follow the instruction inside the envelope.

Are the instructions clear, class?

Yes, ma’am!

You may start now!

Situation: Ms. Didith has to go to the mall to buy some

stuffs but she’s having a hard time choosing her outfit.
Now, she’s asking us to help her by showing her the
different outfit so she will have many options.

Steps to follow to help Ms. Didith:

1. Pair each top (long sleeves, sleeveless, off-

shoulder) to the bottoms (pants and skirt) given.
2. Show and list all the pairs of outfit.
Time’s up! Post your work on the board.

Ms. Didith mailed us a thank you letter. According to

her letter she said,

Dear students,

I am very pleased for the different outfits

you showed. Now, I can easily choose the
outfit I would wear. For that, all of you
will receive a gift. Thank you so much for
helping me. God bless you!

Love,
Ms. Didith

Good job, class!

How many outfits did you make? Yes, Camille? 6, ma’am!

That’s correct! Ms. Didith has 6 options of choosing

her outfit.

Did you enjoy our acitivity?

Yes, ma’am!
How about you, class? What do you usually do when
choosing your outfit?

Yes, Ellanie? I also pair my shirts with my pants or skirts to know

what outfit would fit me best.

That’s nice to hear!You will see the connection of our

activity as we go through our lesson. So, let’s proceed.

C. Presenting Examples/Instances for the New

Lesson

Have you at a certain time asked yourself the following

questions; “What are my chances of getting the correct
answer in True or False-type of question? Or, Multiple
choice-type of question? Or, should I bring my
umbrella tomorrow?

Though some of you are not aware but these questions

are simply finding the probability of an event. Now, we
will be discussing the Probability of Simple Event.

D. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing New

Skills #1

The probability of an event tells us how likely that

event is to occur.

A simple or a single event is an event with a single

outcome.

This is the formula in finding the probability of an

event.

Probability of an event = (no. of ways it can happen) /

(total number of outcomes)

The probability of an event A, written P(A), is defined

as

n( A)
P ( A )=
n(S )

Let’s say, for example; What is the probability of

rolling an even number in a die?

Let E = event of getting an even number.

Even number in a die = { 2, 4, 6}

3 1
P ( E )= = ∨0.5∨50 %
6 2
.
The probability of an event can also be written as
fraction, decimal or precentage.

Now, let’s discuss the Rules of Probability. There are

four rules of probability.

Rule no. 1: The probability of an event is a number

from 0 to 1.

So, it can be 1 or 0 or any number between 0 and 1 just

like in the first example which is ½, it is between 0 and Group 1, “Rule no. 2: The probability of an
1. impossible event is zero.”
For the second rule, group 1 kindly read.

Let’s say for example.

Example 2: When the single die is rolled, find the

probability of getting an 8.

In this situation, a die has 6 faces only and each face

contains a number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Since the sample
space consists, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only. It is impossible
to get an 8. Using the given formula we have,

0
P ( 8 )=
6

Hence, P(8) = 0.
A probability of 0 means the event will never occur. Group 2, ”Rule no. 3: When the event is sure to
happen, then the probability is 1.”
Group 2, kindly read the 3rd rule.

Example 3: When the single die is rolled, find the

probability of getting a number less than 7.

Again, a die has 6 faces and each face contains a

number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Since the sample space
consists, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. These numbers are all less
6
than 7. So, we can write P(>7) = = 1.
6

A probability of 1 means the event will always occur.

None, ma’am!
Do you have questions, class? Group 4, “Rule no. 4: The sum of the
probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1.”
Let’s proceed. Group 4, kindly read the 4th rule.

In rolling a fair of die, each

outcome in the sample space has a
probability of 1/6. Hence, the sum of the
probabilities of the outcomes is 1. Wh
Example 4: In rolling a die, we have 6 possible
outcomes, each outcome in the sample space has a None, ma’am!
probability of 1/6. So, the sum of the probabilities of
1 1 1 1 1 1
the outcomes is 1. It is because + + + + + =1.
6 6 6 6 6 6

Do you have any question, class?

If you have no question, let us proceed.

E. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing New

Skills #2.

Now, we will find the probability of simple event.

Example: When a fair dice is thrown, what is the

probability of getting:

a) the number 5
b) a number that is a multiple of 3
c) a number that is greater than 6
d) a number that is less than 7
Solution:

A fair die is an unbiased die where each of the six

numbers is equally likely to turn up.

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

a) Let A = event of getting the number 5 = {5}

Let n(A) = number of outcomes in event A = 1

n(S) = number of outcomes in S = 6

Let B = event of getting a multiple of 3
1
P ( 5 )= Multiple of 3 = {3, 6}
6
2 1
P ( M 3)= =
Who wants to try letter B? Yes, Clark? 6 3

Let C = event of getting a number greater than 6

There is no number greater than 6 in the sample space

That’s correct, Clark!
S.
How about letter C? Yes, Rommel?
C ={}

0
P ( ¿ 6 )= =0
6

Very good, Rommel! Let D = event of getting a number less than 7

Numbers less than 7 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

How about letter D? Yes, Cha? 6

P ( ¿ 7 )= =1
6

That’s correct, Cha!

Let’s have another example:

Each of the letters HELLO is written on a card. A card

is chosen at random from the bag. What is the
probability of getting the letter ‘L’?

Solution:

Since the card is randomly selected, it means that each

card has the same chance of being selected.

S = {H, E, L 1, L 2, O} There are two cards with the

letter ‘L’

Let A = event of getting the letter ‘L’ = {L 1, L 2}

None, ma’am
2
P ( L )= =¿
5

Do you have any question, class?

If you have no question, let’s proceed to our next

activity.
