Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics 5 Self-Learning Module 14 on Describing

Experimental Probability!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to
12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing
this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character 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:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

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. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics 5 Self-Learning Module 14 on Describing

Experimental Probability!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills that

you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the lesson at

hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of concepts and

skills that you already know about a previous lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module.

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to perform.

Wrap-Up - This section summarizes the concepts and

application of the lesson.

Valuing - This part integrates a desirable moral value in the

lesson.

Posttest - This measure how much you have learned from the
entire module.

 LESSON

EXPLORE AND DISCOVER

In this self-learning module lesson, we will describe experimental probability.

An experimental probability is the ratio between the number of times the

event occurs and the total number of trials.

Example 1: A coin is tossed 10 times. A head appeared 6 times. Find the

experimental probability of getting heads.

number of times the event occurs

EP(Head) =
total number of trials

 Number of times occurs 6

 Total number of trials 10

6
 This is 6 out of 10 and can be written as
10

Reminder: Always express the fraction in lowest term. Thus,

6 2 3
÷ =
10 2 5
3
Therefore, the experimental probability of getting a head is 3 out of 5 or
5

Example 2: A bag contains 10 red marbles, 8 yellow marbles and 2 black

marbles. Jaysen took a marble and returned it. After 30
trials, a red marble was picked 15 times. Find the experimental
probability of getting a red marble.

number of times the event occurs

EP(Red) =
total number of trials

15 15 1
= ÷ =
30 15 2

Therefore, the experimental probability of getting a red marble is
