Lesson Recording Favorable Outcomes and
Solving Routine and Non-Routine
Problems in a Simple Experiment

’s In

➢ Look at the peso coins shown below.

➢ If I will toss this coin, which do you think will come out, the head or the
tail?
➢ For sure, you have already an answer in your mind. Today we will be
learning more about recording favorable outcomes and solving
problems from a simple experiment.

Suppose a fair coin is randomly tossed for 75 times and it is

found that head turns up 45 times and tail 30 times.

What is the probability of getting (i) a head and (ii) a tail?

https://www.math-only-math.com/coin-toss-probability.html

is It

Solution:

Total number of trials = 75.

Number of times head turns up = 45

Number of times tail turns up = 30

Tossing a coin is a simple probability experiment to know the chance

that either a head or a tail shows up. In tossing a coin, there are two possible
outcomes, either a head or a tail. The head and the tail have equal chances
to show up.

The result that either a head or a tail shows up is called a success. The
experimental probability of having a tail or a head is given by this formula.
(Tabilang et. al., 2015, p. 263)

Probability = the number of successes (frequency)

number of trials (number of times the coin was tossed )

5
P (head) = Probability of getting a head
45
P (head) =
75

= 0.60

P (tail) = Probability of getting a tail

30
P (tail) =
75

= 0.40

Note: Remember when a fair coin is tossed and then head and tail are the
only possible outcomes, and

P(head) + P(tail)

= (0.60 + 0.40)

=1

Do the following experiments below to measure your recording ability.

ACTIVITY 1: Using a Color Spinner

1. Spin the spinner.
2. Put a mark in the tally column for each color where yellow red
the spinner stops.
Do this experiment 20 times. blue

3. Add the tally marks for each column and

write the number in the frequency
column. https://www.abeka.com/abekaonli
ne/mediad

Color Tally Frequency

Blue
Red
Yellow

4. Express the outcome or probability using the formula.

Example:
the number of successes (times spinner stopped at blue)
Probability (blue) = number of trials (number of times the experiment was done)

6
ACTIVITY 2: Drawing Marble from the Box

From the box containing 4 marbles (1 red,

1 green, 1 yellow, and 1 blue)
yellow green

1. Pick a marble without looking.

2. Put a mark on the tally column for the blue
marble you pick and then
red

return the marble

into box.
3. Do this experiment 20 times. Add the tally marks for each Marble.
Write the number in the frequency column.

4. Express the probability using the formula.

Example:
_ the number of successes (frequency)
Probability (red) = number of trials (number of times the experiment was done)

GROUP 3: Using numbered cards (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

1. From a deck of numbered cards, pick a card. Put a mark under the tally
column. Return the card into the deck.
2. Do this 20 times.
3. Add the tally marks for each number card. Write the number in
frequency column.
4. Express the probability using the formula.

Example:
the number of successes (frequency)
Probability (0) = number of trials (number of times the experiment was done)

 LET’S REMEMBER!

Probability (P) is the chance that an event can happen.

To get the probability of something to happen, use the formula below
(Medes, A and Miguel, M, 2013, p. 451):

Probability =Number of favorable outcomes Number of

possible outcomes

How do you record simple prediction?

By doing simple probability experiments, we can determine the

number of times an event may occur. We use a table and record the
outcome of probability experiment. (Tabilang et. al., 2015, p. 351)

’s More

Perform the given activity below. Record the results of your probability
experiment on your notebook.

1. Get a 5 -peso coin.

2. Toss the coin.
3. Put a mark in the tally column.
4. Do this experiment 20 times. Add the tally marks and write the number
in the frequency column.

Side of the coin Tally Frequency

Head

Tail

5. Express the probability using the given formula.

Out of 20 times, how many times did the tail show up?

Out of 20 times, how many times did the head show up?
