Motivation: 5 minutes

Do you know what is NIPS? Yes ma’am it’s a chocolate candy.

Yes, I have here a pack of nips. What have There are different colors ma’am.
observe from nips?
That’s right. During your kids time, when you eat a Yes ma’am.
chocolate candy did you count how many candies
are there in a pack?

How many chocolate candy are there in a pack? 8 ma’am. It has 2 blue candies, 3 yellow candies,
What are those colors? 1 purple, and 3 pink candies.

Who loves choosing colors that you want to eat? Ma’am the color that I want to eat first is blue.
What color you really love or eat first?

Now, since you want blue. So how many blue There are only 2 ma’am.
candies in a pack?

So, there are 2 blue candies out of 8 candies in a 3/8 ma’am. Since, there are 3 yellow candies out
pack. It can be can be written 2/8 and it is of 8 candies in a pack.
simplified as ¼. Now, what is the possibility of
choosing yellow candy? Why?
 Since, there is only purple ma’am. So the
Correct! How about getting the color purple? probability of getting purple is 1/8.

Alright! So, do you have an idea what is our topic Yes ma’am.
for today?
So, what do you think our topic for today? I think our topic for today is all about solving
probability of an event ma’am.

Yes you have an idea. To be specific, our topic for
today is all about solving problems involving the
probability of simple events. But, let us first
consider our lesson objectives. Please everybody
read.
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able
to:
a. recall the formula of probability.
b. solve problems involving probabilities of simple
events ;
c. appreciate the importance of problems
involving probability in real life setting.

II. ACTIVITY: 10 minutes

Thank you. Class, I have here an activity for you to

answer. This activity consists 5 groups. So, I want
you to group into 5 so please count 1 to 5 start
from the right side.
Now, proceed to your groupmates silently, form a
circle and please don’t drag the chairs.

Now listen class, to answer your activity is good for

5 minutes. Everybody of each group has a role and
a task :

Activity:
Situation: Pick and Carry is having an IPOD
giveaway. They put all the IPOD shuffles in a bag.
Customers may choose an IPOD without looking at
the color. Inside the bag, there are 4 orange, 5
blue, 6 green and 5 pink IPODS.

Group 1. If Maria chooses one IPOD at random,

what is the probability that she will choose an
orange IPOD?

Group 2. If Maria chooses one IPOD at random,

what is the probability that she will choose a blue
IPOD?

Group 3. If Maria chooses one IPOD at random,

what is the probability that she will choose a
green IPOD?

Group 4. If Maria chooses one IPOD at random,

what is the probability that she will choose a pink
IPOD?

Group 5: If Maria chooses one IPOD at random,

what is the probability that she will choose NOT
green IPOD?

After 5 minutes…

Time is up. Present your answer in front.

III. ANALYSIS: 5 minutes ( representative of each group present their

answer)
So, class how was the activity?

Did you enjoy it?

Did you find it difficult?
Why did you find it difficult group 3?
Oh I see. So, how about group 4 what makes it
easy?
That’s good to hear. What is asked in your problem IPOD because every one of us shared our
group 1?
It’s fun ma’am.
Yes ma’am.
At first, it’s difficult ma’am but later we find it
easy.
To find the probability of choosing not green
IPOD ma’am. Since then, some of our
groupmates did not participate.
It is easy to find the probability of choosing a pink
opinions.

So, how many orange IPOD are there in a given What is the probability that Maria will choose
situation? an orange IPOD?
How about in group 2?
There are 6 ma’am.
 The problem that is, what is the probability that
Yes. Now, what have you observe in the activity? Maria will choose a blue IPOD? And there are 5
blue IPOD in a given situation.

That’s right. So, how did find the probability of We observe the activity is all about problems
simple events? involving probability of simple events.

You’re right! So what is the formula of probability of Using the formula of probability of an event
simple events? ma’am.

Correct! In finding the probability of an event is the

ratio of the number of ways a certain event can The formula of probability of simple events is
occur to the number of possible outcomes. What is number of favorable outcomes
P(event) =
the possible outcomes from the given activity? number of possible outcomes

You’re right! How did you find the possible The possible outcomes from the given activity is
outcome? 20 ma’am.

Very good! When we say all possible outcomes is

another term of sample. How did you come up Through adding all given number of different
your answer with the given time limit? colors of IPOD.

Very good!! Cooperation is indeed essential in

group activities. Good job everyone. Through cooperation ma’am.

IV. ABSTRACTION: 20 minutes

This time, I will discuss further about in solving

problems involving probability of simple events.

Again, the formula of a probability of an event is:

number of favorable outcomes
P(event) =
number of possible outcomes

It means that the probability is the ratio of the

number of ways of a certain event can occur to the
number of possible outcomes.

Let's take a look some examples of probability.

1. Given a standard die, determine the
probability for the following events when
rolling the die one time:

P(5)
P(even number)
P(7)

Before we start the

solution, please take note that:

P(5) means the probability of rolling a 5

When you see P( ) this means to find the

probability of whatever is indicated inside of the
parenthesis.

Solutions:
Let’s first identify the sample space. The sample
space then becomes the denominator in our
fraction when calculating probability.

Sample Space: 6 We are using a standard

die. A standard die has 6 sides and contains the
numbers 1-6.

Therefore, our sample space is 6 because there

are 6 total outcomes that could occur when we roll
the die. The 6 outcomes are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Special Note: Always simplify your fraction if

possible!

2. There are 4 blue marbles, 5 red marbles, 1

green marble, and 2 black marbles in a
bag.  Suppose you select one marble at
random.  Find each probability.

P(black)

P(blue)

P(blue or
black)

P(not green)

P(not purple)
 V. APPLICATION/EVALUATION: 10
minutes

Find the probability of the following: (2pts each)

a. If a letter is chosen at the random from

the word PERSEVERANCE, what is the
probability that the letter chosen is E?

b. What is the probability of getting an 8

from a deck of 52 cards?

c. Earl Darenz is asked to choose a day

from a week. What is the probability of
choosing a day which starts with S?

d. There are 4 blue pens, 6 red pens, and 2

green pens in a bag. If a pen is drawn at
random from the bag, what is the
probability that a green pen is drawn?

e. A letter is chosen at random from the

word FEBRUARY. What is the
probability of getting a consonant?
 VI. ASSIGNMENT

List down at least three situations from your

experiences, wherein you wondered for a
probability of a certain event.
