B. Motivation
Are you familiar with the games of chance? Yes. Maam. Such as lotto? (student 2
Will you give me an example? answered)
You are right. Lotto is a very good example.
Other example? I think a game like the game of a gambler?
(student 3 answered)
Yes. That is also one of the example.
Do you know that the likelihood of winning in How is it Ma’am? (students ask)
any game of chance can be estimated using

C. Developmental Activities
1. Lesson Proper / Fixing Skills
Class? You already discussed about statistics Yes. Ma’am!
during your grade 7 to 10. Right? On grade 7,
you have learned about presenting data? Right?
On grade 8 is about? Probability!
Yes, but on simple probability? Yes, Ma’am. It is on simple probability.
And now another probability to be discussed Compound? Is it higher than simple?
but on compound probability.
Yes.
Probability is a branch of Mathematics that
What is probability by the way? deals with calculating the occurrence of a
given event.
Who can give me an example?
Ma’am. Example, in tossing a die, the
You are right! probability of getting a head is ½.
Anyone? Can you give me another example? The probability of getting 6 dots in a die is 1
out of 6.
Yes, that is correct. Suppose that a coin is
tossed 100 times and fall heads 45 times out of Ma’am? The probability of getting a head is
100, what is the probability of getting a head? 45/100 equals 9/20.
Very good!
Compound Events: Events which consist of
Ahm. What is compound events? Open your more than one outcome are called compound
book on page events. A compound event consists of two or
more simple events.
We have the same definition. The compound

Very good for your solution.
If two events, A and B, are not mutually
exclusive, then the probability that either A

P(A or B)= P(A)+ P(B) – P(A and B).

that it will either be a heart or a king? B). Note that P(A) = 13/52, P(B) = 4/52 and
P (A ∩ B) = 1/52. Hence,
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) – P (A ∩ B) = 13/52
+ 4/52 – 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13.
2. Fixing Skills
Now, it’s your turn to answer the questions on
the board.
In the experiment of tossing a die, let E be the
event that an even number of dots come up and
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
F be the event that and odd number of dots will
E = {2, 4, 6}
come up. Then answer P(A∪B)
F = {1, 3, 5}
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) = 3/6 + 3/6 = 1
Yes. Very good student 7. Your answer is
correct.
Solution: Let A be the event of obtaining

3. Generalization
Do you learned our topic today? Yes. Ma’am. It is simple.
I learned that in getting the union of

What did you learned? The union of the probability of getting an

Yes, union and intersection of events are the

and P(A or B)= P(A)+ P(B) – P(A and B).
What are the rules we learned today?
The first formula is if it is? What event is it? If it is mutually exclusive events.
And the other one? Not mutually exclusive events.
Very good. You understand the lesson today
Yes. Ma’am! We merely understand it!
