IN A MILLION CHANCE OF WINNING
 PERFORMING EXPERIMENTS AND RECORDING OUTCOMES

I. Introduction

Hello kid! Do you like playing with dice? Can we predict the result if we
roll a die or dice? Let’s find out how in this Learning Activity Sheets! This
LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET is another tool to help deepen your
understanding and master the mathematical concepts and principles in
describing the meaning of probability such as 50% chance of rain and one
in a million chance of winning and performing experiments and recording
outcomes.
II. Learning Objectives

After going through this activity sheet, you can:

describe the meaning of probability such as 50% chance of rain and one in a million chance of
winning; (M6SP-IVg-19) and
perform experiments and record outcomes (M6SP-IVh-21).

III. Vocabulary Words

Study the following words:

1. Probability – the chance that something will happen.
2. Outcome – a result of an event.
3. Probability scale is a continuous line that starts with impossible events
at the left-hand end and ends with certain events at the right-hand end.

IV. Learning Activities

A.1 Discussion
I’m back! Let us study and analyze the problem.

 The weather forecaster says that the probability that it will rain
today is 75%. Does it mean that there is a great chance that it will
rain today?

To answer the question above, we need to know the concept of probability. What
is Probability?

Probability is the chance or likelihood that an event will occur/happen. It is

expressed as a fraction between 0 to 1, including 0 and 1.
In the question above, the chance that it will rain today is 75%. Using a number
line ranging from 0 to 1, we can locate 75%.
75% = 0.75(in decimal)

Based on the number line, we can say that the event that it will rain today is likely
to happen because the number is closer to 1 or 100%.

 Probability is used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that something

will happen.
 Probability may be given in fraction, decimal, or percent.
 The value of probability ranges from 0 to 1 (0 means the event is impossible
to happen, while 1 means the event is certain to happen).
 Probability will help us decide how often something is likely to happen, but
it will never help you exactly when that event will happen unless the
probability is 0(it will never happen) or 1(it will surely happen).

The event is unlikely to happen when its probability is closer to 0, like winning a jackpot
in a lottery where you only have one in a million chance of winning. The most likely to
happen an event is, the closer its probability to 1.

 Let us have these examples.

Example 1 – Use impossible, most unlikely, as likely as unlikely, most likely, and certain to
describe each of the following statements.
A. It will snow tomorrow.
The climate of the Philippines is tropical. It is impossible to snow.
Answer: impossible to happen
B. The likelihood that 2 people in any group of 15 will have the same birthday is about 8%.
Since the probability is closer to 0%, matching birthdays in a group of 15 is most
unlikely (but not impossible)
Answer: most unlikely to happen
C. The weather forecaster says there is a 50% chance of rain today.
This means that the chance to rain today is as likely as it is unlikely. It does not
mean that it will rain nor will not rain today.
Answer: as likely as unlikely to happen (equal chance)
D. The sports’ analyst says that Manny Pacquiao has 75% chance of winning his fight.
This means that Manny Pacquiao is likely to win his fight. It does not mean that
he will win the fight. So, if he does not win, don’t say the analyst is wrong.
Answer: likely to happen
E. The sun will rise tomorrow.
it is certain that the sun will rise every day. So, the probability of the sun rising is
100%.
Answer: certain to happen

Let us have other examples.

Example 2 – Edward and Tim are playing a game. Edward has just flipped a coin
to determine who will have the first turn. Place a star on the line segment below
to show the probability of the coin landing on a head.

If Edward flipped a coin, it is as likely as unlikely to land as head or tail.

A.2 Discussion

I’m back! Let us study and analyze the problem.

Juan wanted to know how many times the head will come out if he
flipped the coin 10 times. What should he do?
To solve his problem. Juan performed an experiment by flipping the
coin 10 times and recorded the outcomes.

Here is the result of Juan’s experiment.
