What This Module is About
This module tries to walk you through the foundation of probability with
exciting and challenging activities that will allow you to learn in a less complicated
manner. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students.
The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order
in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now
using.
This module consists on one lesson only.
Lesson 1- Mutually Exclusive Events
Moreover, we have the following reminders/notes:
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Mathematics 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Mutually Exclusive Events!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum
while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling amid
COVID-19.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What Is It
When there are two or more events, it is important to understand how
they are related before finding the probability of one or the other event
occurring.
The events in the above activity may either be mutually exclusive or not
mutually exclusive events. Mutually Exclusive Events are events that
cannot occur at the same time.

If two events, A and B are mutually exclusive, then
the probability that either event A or B occurs is
the sum of their probabilities.

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)

If two events, A and B are not mutually exclusive, then
the probability that either event A or B occurs is the
sum of their probabilities decreased by the
probability of both occurring
That is
Probability of
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
