Very Good!

C. Motivation

Okay class, let’s have an activity entitled

“Everything in My Space”. I will divide
the class into four group. Each group will
pick a question to answer. You are going
to describe the sample space of each
experiment you pick and write your
answer on the board. The time allotted
for you to answer is only 5 minutes. The
first group that will write the correct
answer will get an additional 7 points,
the second group will have 5 points, third
group will have 3 points and the last
group will have 2 points.

D. Presentation of the Lesson
By listing. (Student answer varies)
How did you find the sample space of
each event? Yes Ma’am.
Are there other ways of organizing all
possible outcomes to describe a sample
space?

In this lesson, we will study on how to

count all possible outcomes of an

experiment.

Are you all familiar with these?

E. Development of the Lesson

There are two equally important

concepts, the counting methods, and the
counting techniques. Counting
methods are particular ways of doing
something like making decisions and
predicting outcomes while counting
techniques are the ability to apply a
particular task skillfully.
When a set of objects is small, it is easy
to list all the objects and count them
one by one. When the set is too large,
and when the objects can be arranged
systematically, there are some useful
techniques for counting the objects
without actually listing them. Let us
examine the examples below and see
how the different
methods or counting techniques are
used in different situations.

A. Tabular Method

Let’s have Example 1.

In a debate contest, the participants are
divided into two groups so that members
of Group 1 will be paired with members
of Group 2. The members of Group 1 are
Elena, Estela, Felisa, and Mae while the
members of Group 2 are Mark, Red, and
Sam.

The first thing we need to do is to make

a table. The first column will be the
names of the first group and on the first
row will be the names of the second
group.
Elena Estela Felissa Mae
Mark
Red
Sam
By then, we can now pair them.
Elena Estela Felissa Mae
Mark (Mark,
Elena)
Red (Red,
Elena)
Sam (Sam,
12 possible pairings Ma’am
Elena)
Tabular
Will you complete the table?
Because it uses columns and rows.
How many possible pairings do we
have?

What do you think is this kind of method

in listing all possible outcomes?

Why did you say it’s a tabular?

Very Good! This is a Tabular Method. It

uses columns and rows where to enter 12 Ma’am
all possible outcomes of an experiment.

Example 2. 1 2 3 4 5 6
H 1H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H
Rolling a die and tossing a coin once T 1T 2T 3T 4T 5T 6T
simultaneously.
How many possible outcomes can we
make? None Ma’am.

How did you arrive at your answer? Will

You show us using the tabular method?

Very Good!
Any questions on tabular method? 4 possible outcomes Ma’am
Head-Head, Head-Tail, Tail-Head,
Okay, let proceed to the next counting Tail-Tail
methods.
B. Tree Diagram

Example 3.
In tossing a coin twice, how many
possible outcomes are there?
What are those possible outcomes?
Correct. Below is a tree diagram that
shows the possible outcomes when a
coin is tossed two times.
It is a diagram used to show all the
possible outcomes in a probability
experiment. It consists of line
segments coming from a starting
point to the outcome point. All
possible outcomes are visually
represented by the branches.

Will you describe a tree diagram?

Example 4.
Rolling a die once and tossing a coin
once.

Using a tree diagram, will you show us

the number of outcomes?

12 possible outcomes Ma’am

(1, H), (1, T), (2, H), (2, T), (3, H),
(3, T), (4, H), (4, T), (5, H), (5, T),
(6, H), (6, T)

None Ma’am.
Based on the results, how many possible
outcomes when a die is rolled once, and
a coin is tossed once?

What are the possible outcomes?

Very Good! Any questions on tree

diagram?

With tree diagram, counting of all

possible outcomes is easy. But this tree
diagram is not practical to use if there
are more events involved and there is a
higher number of outcomes in every
event in the experiment.

Okay let’s proceed to the next counting

method.
C. Systematic Listing

It is a method of determining the number

of outcomes of an experiment by S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH,
enumerating or making a list of all THT, TTH, TTT}
possible outcomes.
8 possible outcomes.
This method, if not carefully
and systematically done, there is a
possibility that some possible outcomes
are missed or left out.

Example 5.
If I toss a coin three times, how many
possible outcomes are there? Will you
list the possible outcomes? S = {(Burger, Cake), (Burger,
Cheesecake), (Burger, Ice cream),
How many possible outcomes in tossing (Pasta, Cake), (Pasta,
a coin three times? Cheesecake), (Pasta, Ice cream),
(Pizza, Cake), (Pizza,
Example 6. Cheesecake), (Pizza, Ice cream)}
At a restaurant there are 3 options for
mains: Burger, Pasta and Pizza, and 3 There are 9 possible combinations.
options for dessert: Cake, Cheesecake
or Ice Cream.

List all the possible combinations for

main course and dessert.

How many possible combinations for

main course and dessert?

Okay let’s try answering this situation.
Clarisse wanted to go to the shopping S =
mall. She was confused on what to wear.
In her wardrobe she found a gray (G)
and a black (B) jeans and a red (R), a
yellow (Y) and a white (W) shirts. Help
Clarisse choose her outfit matching her
 available jeans and t-shirts using the {(G,R), (G, Y), (G,W), (B, R), (B, Y),
following methods. (B, W)
a. Tabular Method
b. Tree Diagram 2 pants
c. Systematic Listing 3 shirts
Clarisse have 6 different possible
choices of outfits.

Counting allows us to enumerate all

possible ways an event can occur,
and from these counts we can
make inferences that will help us in
our decision making.
1. How many choices of pants are there?
2. How many choices of shirts are there?
3. How many different possible choices Tabular Method which uses

IV. EVALUATION
Directions: On a one whole sheet of paper, answer the following.

1. Maria always brings with her a handkerchief and a face mask whenever she
goes out for an errand. If she has five handkerchiefs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and four
face masks (blue, green, yellow, red), in how many ways can she pair her
handkerchiefs to her face masks? Observe how it is done using a Tabular
Method.
2. Erwin is a lifestyle and food vlogger. Whenever he goes for work to create
 content for his channel, he will always bring with him a pair of spoon and fork.
Erwin has 4 spoons (1, 2, 3, 4) and 3 forks (A, B, C). Determine the number of
possible ways Erwin will bring his pair of spoon and fork whenever he works

V. ASSIGNMENT
Directions: On a one whole sheet of paper, answer the following.

1. At last, Marlita is permitted to work abroad. She carries a new luggage locked
with 3-digit number combinations. Excitement and anxiety filled her heart and
mind while on travel. When she reached her destination, she wanted to
freshen up, so she got her luggage and opened it. But she forgot the number
combination. She can only remember that it started with 8, no “0”, and that
digits are not repeated. With this in mind, she made several attempts to open
her luggage by making different number combinations but still failed to open it.
Help Marlita open her luggage by listing down all the possible combinations.
2. In tossing a coin thrice, how many possible outcomes are there? Used Tree
