2. Greetings “Good morning/ afternoon Sir Abag”

“Good morning/afternoon class.”

3. Classroom Management Picking up papers and candy wrappers.

“Before you take your sit kindly pick all the
pieces of paper and candy wrappers under
your chair.”
4. Checking of attendance
“Mr./Ms. President can you tell us who’s
absent today?” “None, Sir”

“Thank you, you may now take your seat.”

B. Activity
Our topic for today will be all about
probability of compound events but before
we start I would like to present you our
objectives for this day.

(The teacher will flash the learning

objectives on the screen.)

To start our lesson let us have a short

activity. What I want you to do is to work
with your seatmates and form a group of
two or three. Your task is to roll this dice
and get the probability of getting back to
back 4.

By the way, what are the possible results in 1,2,3,4,5,6 sir.

rolling a die?

Very good. Are you ready class? Yes, Sir!

Then when you are ready, you may start. I’ll (The students will perform the given task.)
give you 1 minute to perform your task.

Time’s up!

C. Analysis

(After the activity, the teacher will ask the

following questions.)

1. How many times did the 4 dots turn (Answer may vary)
up?
2. In what particular way did you record (Answer may vary)
the possible outcomes of rolling the
dice?
Okay class, what we have done has a
connection on our topic for today.

D. Abstraction

Compound Probability

Compound events consist of more than one

outcome. In other words, it consists of two
or more simple events.

Examples:
rolling a die and tossing a penny
spinning a spinner and drawing a card
tossing two dice
tossing two coins
In general, these are the types of compound
events:
1. Independent
2. Dependent

For two or more events, it may be

considered if the occurrence of one affects
the occurrence of the other.

a. Independent

When the outcome of one event does not

affect the outcome of a second event, these
are called independent events.
The probability of two independent events is
found by multiplying the probability of the
first event by the probability of the second
event.
Ex. Roll dice, tossing two coins, problems
with replacement.
Who can give me another example of an (Students will give their examples)
independent event?

b. Dependent

When the outcome of one event does affect

the outcome of a second event, these are
called dependent events.
The probability of two dependent events is
found by multiplying the probability of the
first event by the probability of the second
event following the first.
Ex. Deck of cards, selecting item from
container, problems with replacement

Who can give me another example of a (Students will give their examples)
dependent event?

Our activity awhile ago is what type of Independent event, Sir.

compound event?

Very good. Again it is independent event

because the outcome of one event does not
affect the outcome of the second event.

To get the probability of getting back to

back 4 you will get the probability of the first
event and then get the second event
afterwards multiply with each other.

P(4,4) = ¼ x ¼ = 1/36
Example Problem # 1:
You roll a two six-sided dice whose sides
are numbered from 1 through 6. Find the
probability of rolling both even numbers

P(Even, Even) = 3/6 x 3/6

= 9/36
=1/4

Example Problem #2:

Two cards are selected from a standard
deck of cards. Without replacement, what is
the probability of getting two hearts?

52 cards in a deck
13 hearts in a deck
P(heart, heart) = 13/52 x 12/51
=156/2652 = 1/17

Example Problem #3:

Two cards are selected from a standard
deck of cards. With replacement, what is
the probability of getting two clubs?

52 cards in a deck
13 clubs in deck
P(club, club) = 13/52 x 13/52
=169/2704 = 1/16

E. Application
On your notebook, answer the following. I
will give you 5 minutes to answer.

A. Answer the following and tell

whether it is independent event or
dependent event.

1. A toy box contains 12 toys, 8 P( stuffed, stuffed) = 8/12 x 7/11

stuffed animals, and 3 board = 14/33 (Dependent)
games. Maria randomly chooses
2 toys for the child she is
babysitting to play with. What is
the probability that she chose 2
stuffed animals as the first two
choices?
2. Joanna had 3 roses, 4 tulips, P(rose, rose) = 3/8 x 3/8
and 1 carnation in a vase. She =9/64 (Independent)
randomly selected one flower,
took a photo of it, and put it
 back. She then repeated the
steps. What is the probability
that she selected a rose both
times?
3. A bag contains 3 green and 2 P(Purple, purple) = 2/5 x ¼
purple marbles. What is the = 2/20
probability of drawing two purple = 1/10 (Dependent)
marbles in a row from the bag if
the first marble is not replaced?

F. Assessment / Evaluation

Please get one whole sheet of paper, put

the date today, your name and section. I will
give you 10 minutes to answer.

1. A basket contains 6 apples, 5

bananas, 4 oranges and 5 guavas.
Dominic randomly chooses one
piece of fruit. What is the probability
the he chose a banana then an
apple?
2. Nick has 4 black pens, 3 blue pens
and 2 red pens in his school bag.
Nick randomly picks two pens out of
his school bag. What is the
probability that Nick chose two blue
pens, if he replaced the first pen
back in his pocket before choosing a
second pen?
3. A box of chocolates contains 10 milk
chocolates, 8 dark chocolates, and 6
white chocolates. Hannisa randomly
chooses a chocolate, eats it, and
then randomly chooses another
chocolate. What is the probability
that Hannisa chose a milk chocolate
and then a white chocolate?
4. A rental agency has 12 white cars, 8
gray cars, 6 red cars and 3 green
cars for rent. Mr. Escobar rents a
car, returns it because the radio is
broken, and gets another car. What
is the probability that Mr. Escobar is
given a green car and then a gray
car?

Let us check your answers. Exchange your

papers with your seatmates and put
checked by and the date today.
 (The teacher will flash the answers on the
screen and let the students check their
answers)

Put the score all over 20 on the top of the

paper and bring it back to the owner.

Okay class, that is all for today. Thank you Good bye and thank you, Sir!
and Good bye.
