What I Know
Let us see how much you learned from the previous lesson. If you got all
the answers right or at least 80% of the right answer, then you are
now ready to proceed to the next level. Enjoy!!!
Lesson
Topic: Illustrating mutually exclusive events.
This lesson focus on the probability of mutually exclusive events and not
mutually exclusive events. It has series of exercises/activities that will
surely catch your interest so that it will be easy for you to understand and
learn all the concepts that will surely be applied in your future career or
endeavor.
What’s In
How much do you know about the new lesson? Did you
encounter the topic in your previous mathematics? Can you do
the activity below? I’m sure you can. Don’t worry because you
MATHEMATICS 10
will be guided in doing the activity. Relax and breathe deeply.
You can do it.

Questions:
1. What did you observe about the images on top?
2. Is it easy for you to decide on what event to choose?
3. Is it possible to choose both events?
4. Can you choose two events same time?
MATHEMATICS 10
5. Which event on top are mutual and not mutual? Why?
What’s New
P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
MATHEMATICS 10
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B)
Solution:
Event A

P(A) = + + + =

Event B
There are three of a kind face cards in a standard deck of card;
Jack, Queen and King; taking the probability of each face card
we have;

Solution:
Event A
As you can see on the illustration above, hearts and kings intersect at
king of hearts, and thus they are not mutually exclusive.
In this case, the king of hearts can be counted as two; a king and a
king of hearts.
P (A or B) = P(A) + P (B) – P (A ∪ B) or
P (A ∩ 𝐵) = P(A) + P (B) – P (A ∪ B)
Solution:
There are 4 king cards and 13 diamond cards in all in the standard
deck of card.

What Is It
You are now on the part where all the concepts learned from the
MATHEMATICS 10
activities and discussion will be applied to answer the sets of
succeeding tasks or activities. So be patient and calm in doing the
tasks.
Activity 3. Tell Me

Basic Concepts
What I Can Do
Let us see if you really learn from the concepts and activities
you have encountered previously. The activities below would
show the proof of your learnings.
4. A ball is drawn from a box containing two red balls and four
green balls. What is the probability that the ball drawn is a
red or green ball?
Assessment
Are you now ready to take the test? Well I’m sure you are now
very well prepared, ready and excited to take the test. So, let
MATHEMATICS 10
us start. Just set back and relax. Goodluck.
Additional Activities
Surveys are done to know the pulse of people. The activity below does
the same method to determine the pulse of the students in a certain
school. This where in real-life you can use your acquired knowledge,
skills and competencies from the lesson.
