Probability

of
Compound
Events
 OBJECTIVES
Find probability
of simple and
compound events .
Let`s
Review
Activity 1
 Directions:
Illustrate possible
Outcomes of the
following situations .
1. A die is rolled once.
Find the probability
of obtaining
1. a 5 or 2 .

{2}
2. a 3 or 6 .

{2}
3. an even number. .

{2,4,6}
REMEMBER
In a finite sample space(S) where each outcome are
equally probable, the probability of an event E,
denoted by P(E), is given by

P( E ) = Number of favorable outcome to an event

(E)
Total number of possible outcome (S)
Or………. P( E ) = n ( E )
n(S)

General Rules of Probability

•Probability of a sure event is 1.
