What This Module is About
COVID-19 is magnifying the weaknesses of existing health systems globally. The
pandemic disproportionately threatens health crisis. A chance of living is slowly
deteriorating. If the probability that person A will be alive in 5 years is 0.6 and the
probability that person B will be alive in 5 years is 0.5, what is the probability that they
will both be alive in 5 years?

The above pandemic question illustrates probability of compound events. In this

learning module, you will know the concept on how to solve problems on dependent and
independent events, and concept of conditional probability.

For the teacher, you are expected to help the learner stay on track. Facilitate and
guide each learner in doing this module. Monitor each written and performance task of
the learner.

For the learner, you will be expected to understand concept and practice skills in
solving problems involving probability. In this module, you will find examples and
exercises that will give you the opportunity to test and practice your skills, sharpen your
critical thinking and help you apply the concept of probability in our daily lives. Enjoy
and learn from every given practices. Take your time. Never give up until you
understand.

For the parent/guardian, you will be expected to help in monitoring the learner in
answering this module. Your moral support to the learner is utmost needed.
