INTRODUCTION: The teacher will conduct activities to prepare the students for the upcoming topic.
PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. What observations did you make during our activity?
2. What do you think is the relevance of our activity to our next topic?

PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. What are the words you formed from the scrambled letters?
2. Are you familiar with those words?
3. Do you have any idea about mutually and not mutually exclusive events?
-If two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, then the probability that either A or B occurs is the sum of
their probabilities. In symbols,
(𝑨 𝐨𝐫 𝑩) = 𝑷(𝑨 ∪ 𝑩) = 𝑷(𝑨) + 𝑷(𝑩)
Example 1. In tossing a coin once, the events of getting a head and getting a tail are mutually exclusive
events because they cannot appear at the same time. If A is the event of getting a head and B is the event of
getting a tail, then, 𝑨 ∩ 𝑩 = { } or 𝑛(𝑨 ∩ 𝑩) = 𝟎. That is, there is no common element in events A and B.
Example 2. A student wants to go to school. There are two paths; one that takes him to school and the
other one that takes him home. Which path will he choose? He will choose one of the two paths. Obviously,
he can't choose both at the same time. This is an example of a mutually exclusive events.
Example 3. In a six-sided die, the events “2” and “5” are mutually exclusive events. We cannot get both
events 2 and 5 at the same time when we threw one die.
-Two events are not mutually exclusive if both events can occur at the same time. These events have
common elements. They are also called inclusive events.
- If two events, A and B, are not mutually exclusive, then the probability that either A or B occurs is the
sum of their probabilities decreased by the probability of both occurring. In symbols,
Example 1. In rolling a six-sided die once, the events ‘a 2 turning up’ and ‘an even number turning up’ are not
mutually exclusive events. If A is the event of ‘a 2 turning up’ and B is the event of ‘an even number turning
up’, then, A = {2} and B = {2, 4, 6}. Observe that the number 2 is common to both events A and B, therefore,
𝑨 ∩ 𝑩 = {𝟐} 𝑜𝑟 𝑛(𝑨 ∩ 𝑩) = 𝟏.
Example 2. The experiment is playing a game of hockey. The first event is that your team scores a goal, and
the second event is that your team wins the game. (You have to score to win)
Example 3. The set of positive integers from 1 to 8 and the even numbers from 1 to 12.
Notice that 2, 4, 6, 8 are in the overlapping region between the two sets. This means that the sets intersect
and that the elements 2, 4, 6, 8 are common to both.
ENGAGEMENT
LEARNING TASK 3: IDENTIFY ME!
Determine whether the events in the pictures are mutually exclusive or not mutually exclusive events.
PROCESS QUESTIONS:
1. What did you realized after identifying the pictures?
2. Are mutually or not mutually exclusive events simple? Why or why not?
GENERALIZATION:
1. When can you say that the events are mutually exclusive? Not mutually exclusive?
2. Do you think mutually exclusive events exists in real-life situations? If yes, give an example.
LEARNING TASK 5:
IV. ASSIGNMENT Problem: A bowl contains 15 chips numbered 1 to 15. If a chip is drawn randomly from the bowl, is there any
connection between 8 and any number divisible by 3? Is it mutually or not mutually exclusive event?
