Lesson

1 Basic Concepts of Probability

Studying probability will help the students develop critical thinking skills and
interpret the probability that surrounds us daily. Students should begin by doing
simple experiments like the coin and dice toss.

In this lesson we will illustrate an experiment, outcome, sample space, and event.
We will also find the number of occurrences of an outcome in an experiment.

What’s In

People deal with probability questions daily. Now, you will attempt to predict the
chance that something will or not happen.

Many things in life are uncertain.

Will our team

championship?
the test?

http://www.clipartpanda.com/clipart_ima
http://clipart-library.com/clipart/2039323.htm ges/poetry-prompts-for-second-44579618

These questions can be answered with


words such as “maybe”, “likely”, “perhaps”, or
“probably”. We ask questions because we are uncertain whether such events will occur
or not.

What’s New

People use their personal experiences and intuition to answer questions about
an event’s chance of occurring, but in some cases, it is possible to give a more precise
numerical measure of chance. This is known as probability.

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.

4
The probability of an event, P (event) is the number from 0 to 1 which tells how
likely the event is to happen. Event is a set of outcomes (a subset of the sample space).

When a mother gives birth to a baby, how likely is it that the newly born baby is
a girl? There is an even chance that a mother will give birth to a baby girl. When you
toss a die, how likely is it that 5 dots will come out? The event is unlikely to happen
because there is only 17% chance that 5 dots will come out. In these examples, the
result depends on chance.

Let’s try to answer the following question using the illustration.

On the right are the


combinations of outfits.

After the mix and match of blouses, long pants, and short pants, we come up
with 8 different outfits. The mixing and matching of blouses, short pants, and long pants
is an experiment. The 8 different outfits are called as the possible outcomes. Each
possible result of the probability experiment is an outcome. The set of all outcomes is
the sample space of the experiment. The sample space is usually denoted by S and the
total number of possible outcomes by n(S).

To find the probability of an event, it is necessary for us to determine the number


of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes. There is a need to organize
our data to find the correct number of possible and favorable outcomes.

What is It
There are four ways on how to count the number of occurrences of an outcome in
an experiment.
A. Table

C. Systematic Listing
Example 1: How many numbers of two- digits can be formed from integers
1,2,3, and 4? If no digit is repeated?

The possible two-digit numbers are:

12,13,14 (using 1 for tens digit) 31, 32,34 (using 3 for tens digit)

21,23,24 (using 2 for tens digit) 41, 42,43 (using 4 for tens digit)

Example 2:

By listing, show various ways of arranging three books [Math (M), Science (S),
English (E)].

(M, E, S) (E, M, S) (M, S, E)

(S, M, E) (E, S, M) (S, E, M)

D. Fundamental Counting Principle


If there are m ways to do task, and n ways to do another, then there are m x n
ways of doing both.

Example 1:

A Morning snack consist of a drink and a sandwich. You may choose from coffee,
milk, and juice for the drink, and a ham and tuna for sandwich. How many
possible snacks are there?

Three choices for drink p= 3

Two choices for sandwich q=2

Therefore, pq = 3 (2) = 6 snacks

7
Example 2:

If there are 7 doors to a room, in how many ways can a person enter one door
and leave by a different door?

7 choices to enter and 6 choices to exit

Therefore, (7)(6) = 42 ways

What’s More

Activity 1: Tell how likely each event will happen. (impossible, unlikely, even chance,
likely, certainly)

____________________1. The sun rises in the west.

____________________2. Four dots came out after rolling a die.

____________________3. Mrs. Beltran is expecting a baby. It is a baby boy.

What I Have Learned

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.

8
Probability experiment is a chance process that leads to a well-defined result called
outcome. Examples include rolling a die, tossing/flipping of a coin, and picking card
from a deck of cards.

Outcome is the result of a single trial of an experiment.

Event is a set of outcomes (a subset of the sample space).

Sample space is the set of all possible outcomes or sample points.

There are four ways on how to counts the number of occurrences of an outcome in an
experiment.

Probability of Simple Events
11
In the previous lessons we were concerned about basic concepts about
probability. This time, we now discuss how to find the probability of simple events.

What’s In

Before we proceed to the discussion of probability of simple events, let us recall writing
sample space and the number of possible outcomes.

S = sample space n(S) = number of possible outcomes

1. Flipping a coin

𝑆 = {𝐻, 𝑇} 𝑛(𝑆) = 2

Head Tail

2. Tossing a die
𝑆 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} 𝑛(𝑆) = 6

3. Drawing a card at random from a deck of 8 identical cards containing letters A to H

A
𝑆 = {𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶, 𝐷, 𝐸, 𝐹, 𝐺, 𝐻} 𝑛(𝑆) = 8

What’s New

This is an application about real-life situations wherein knowledge about


probability of simple events will be applied.

5
Due to the pandemic, teens are prohibited to go outside their homes.
It is weekend and the sisters Marie and Jesusa finished their school
tasks and daily house chores early. To ease the boredom, Marie and
Jesusa decided to play chess. At the beginning of the game, the two
girls are arguing who will be the first to do the move. Nobody wants to
give up for the first move. Their brother Victor heard the two girls
https://freesvg.org/gossiping-women
arguing and he introduce to them the tossing of coin to have a fair
decision on who will take the first move.

If you were the player, what would you choose, head or tail? Why?
When a coin is tossed, how likely is it to get a tail?

What is It

From the given situation above, you had used the concept of probability of simple events.
For better understanding, let us discuss thoroughly this topic.

Probability is the branch of Mathematics that deals with uncertainty. It is a measure


or estimation of how likely it is that an event will occur.

The probability of an event is denoted as P(E). It is a number from 0 to 1 and maybe


written in the form of fractions, decimals, and percent. The sum of the probabilities of
all the outcomes in a sample space is 1.

Lesson
Experimental Probability and
1 Theoretical Probabiliy

You have heard the terms, theoretical probability, and experimental probability,
but what do they mean? Are they in anyway related? This is what we are going to
discover in this module. It discusses the differences between experimental and
theoretical probability and their applications. We will explore the definition of an event
and learn how to calculate the probability of its occurrence. We will also practice using
standard mathematical notation to calculate and describe different kinds of
probabilities.

What is It

We can stop there. This lesson is all about probability. Jayzel’s experiment is an example
of experimental probability. Let us talk more about this as we go through the lesson.

In Math, once we contend with probability, we have a tendency could also be asked for
the experimental probability of associate degree experiment. This implies that they are
searching for the likelihood of one thing happening based mostly on the results of the
associate degree actual experiment. This is often the experimental probability definition.

Experimental probability is calculated when the actual situation or problem is


performed as an experiment. In this case, you would perform the experiment, and use
the actual results to determine the probability.

Theoretical probability is the probability that is calculated using Math formulas. This
is the probability based on Math theory.

Let us look at an example where we first calculate the theoretical probability, and then
perform the experiment to determine the experimental probability.

Example 1
Two dice are rolled. Find the theoretical probability of each.
a. 𝑃(𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 3)
b. 𝑃(𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 5 𝑜𝑟 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟)

Solution:
a. favorable outcomes = (2,1), (1, 2) = 2
total number of outcomes = 36
𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝑷(𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕) =
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝟐 𝟏
𝑷(𝒔𝒖𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝟑) = 𝟑𝟔
= 𝟏𝟖

b. favorable outcomes = (4,1), (5,1), (6,1), (3,2), (4,2), (5,2), (6,2), (2,3), (3,3), (4,3),
(5,3), (6,3), (1,4), (2,4), (3,4), (4,4), (5,4), (6,4), (1,5), (2,5), (3,5), (4,5), (5,5), (6,5),
(1,6), (2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (5,6), (6,6) = 30
total number of outcomes = 36
𝟑𝟎 𝟓
𝑷(𝒔𝒖𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝟓 𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓) = =
𝟑𝟔 𝟔
Example 2
A coin is tossed, and a six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a tail
on the coin and a 5 on the die.
Solution:
These two events (the coin and die) are independent events because flipping of
the coin does not affect rolling the die. The events are independent of each other. Let us
find the probability of each independent event.

𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔


𝑷(𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕) =
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔

5
There is only one tail on a coin and there are two total outcomes (head or tail).
𝟏
𝑷(𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍) = 𝟐
There is only one 5 on a die and there are six total outcomes on a die ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
𝟏
𝑷(𝟓) =
𝟔
Now, we need to find the probability of tossing a tail on the coin and rolling a 5
on the die. So, we need to combine both events. There is a rule for calculating the
probability of independent events.
To find the probability of two or more independent events that
occur in sequence, find the probability of each event separately,
and then multiply the answers.
𝑷(𝑨 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩) = 𝑷(𝑨) 𝐱 𝑷(𝑩)

Now, let us apply the rule:


𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
𝑷(𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝟓) =∙ =
𝟐 𝟔 𝟏𝟐
𝟏
The probability of flipping a tail on the coin and rolling a 5 on the die is 𝟏𝟐
𝒐𝒓 𝟖. 𝟑%.
The experimental probability of happening of an event is the ratio of the number of trials
in which the event happened to the total number of trials.

The experimental probability of the occurrence of an


event E is defined as:

𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔


𝑷(𝑬) =
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔

Example 3:
A spinner was spun in a probability experiment 50 times. The
results are shown in the table. Compute the experimental probability of
the spinner landing on yellow.

color red blue yellow


raw data
total from tally 16 14 20
Solution:
The data from the experiment above shows that the arrow landed on yellow 20 out of
50 times, to get the experimental probability that is:

𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 20 𝟐


Probability of getting a yellow = 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑠
= 50
= 𝟓

Example 4:
Suppose we toss a coin 145 times and get a tail of 60 times. Now, we toss a coin
at random. What is the probability of getting a tail?

Solution:
Total number of trials = 145
Number of times tail appeared = 60

𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑙 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 60 𝟏𝟐


Probability of getting a tail = = =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠 145 𝟐𝟗

6
For some problems, you are expected find the probability of something occurring
and then apply it to a whole group of people or a situation in which many trials are
run. To solve these problems, you are going to have to take the probability you
found and multiply it by the whole group of people or the number of trials that are
run. It should look something like this:

Probability x whole group of people


or
probability x the number of trials that are run.

Example 5
In preparation of her cake party, Joedith surveyed 40 students at Makati
Science High School about their favorite cake flavor. She found out that 8 of them like
mango bravo. If 215 students are expected to attend the cake party, about how many
will prefer mango bravo?
Solution:
𝟖 𝟏
𝑷(𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒐) = 𝟒𝟎
= 𝟓
To get the number of students who prefer mango bravo out of 215 students:
1
5
𝑥 215 = 𝟒𝟑
So, there are 43 students who like mango bravo.

What I Have Learned

Theoretical probability is the theory behind probability. To find the probability of an


event using theoretical probability, it is not required to conduct an experiment. It
attempts to predict what will happen based upon the total number of outcomes possible.
Theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to
the number of possible outcomes.
𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝑷(𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕) =
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔

8
The experimental probability also is an approach that relies upon actual experiments
and adequate recordings of occurrence of certain events. It is defined as the ratio of the
number of times that event occurs to the total number of trials.
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔
𝑷(𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕) =
𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒔

The basic difference between these two approaches is that in the experimental approach;
the probability of an event is based on what has happened by conducting a series of
actual experiments, while in theoretical approach; we attempt to predict what will occur
without performing the experiments.
