LESSON PLAN-PROBABILITY
ANSHU ARORA

Topic: Probability
Class & Section(s): IX
Subject: Mathematics
Date and Duration: (4 days)

Teaching Learning Objectives:Students will be able to

● Differentiate between Experimental and Theoretical probability.

● Understand the meaning of Equally Likely Events.
● Appreciate the fact that Probability of an Event can be found out using the formula

P(E)=

● Apply the above formula to solve various questions.

● Understand the terms Sure or Certain Events, Impossible Events, Complementary
Events, Elementary Events
● find the probability of getting head/tail in a coin, pair of coins, three coins
● find the probability related to events in experiments with a die and pair of dice
● find the probability of events in experiments related to cards

Classroom Pedagogy:

Day 1: Introduction
Learners will be made to recall the concept of Probability taught in class 8. Difference
between Empirical and theoretical Probability will be explained
Empirical Probability: For an event E, it is defined as:

The Empirical interpretation of Probability can be applied to every event associated with
an experiment which can be repeated a large number of times. But if the events are
equally likely i.e. one event is as likely to occur as the other we use Theoretical
Probability.
Theoretical Probability (Classical Probability): For an event E, it is defined as:
P(E)=
Sure Event :
Impossible Events: Let them understand that probability of an event that is impossible to
occur is zero and such an event is called an Impossible Event

Complementary Events: If E represents a certain event than the event ‘Not E’ will be its
complementary Event.
P (E) =1-P(E), where E is called the complementary event of event E.

Elementary Events:
An event having only one outcome of the experiment is called an elementary event.
For example While tossing a coin , getting a head is an elementary event,or
In a dice, getting a 6 is an elementary event.

Make them observe from examples in NCERT that Sum of all probabilities of all
elementary events of an experiment is 1.
For any event E
0≤P(E)≤1

Make the students fill the Frayer’s Model template for above definitions after explaining
them properly
