VIRTUAL HOME-CLASS OBSERVATION

Probability of
Simple Events

Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you must be
able to:

1. define probability;
2. find the probability of simple events; and
3. cite ways how finding probability is used
in real-life situations.
PROBABILITY
The chance or likelihood that an
event will happen

Probability of Simple Events

Is finding the probability of a
single event occurring
 Example
Question:
• If a pregnant woman will give birth to
a child, what is the probability that
the child is a male?

50% or 0.5 or ½

Probability is always between 0 and 1
 4 Probability
Rules

1. The probability of any event is a number (either a

fraction, a decimal, or a percent.
Example: The weather forecast shows 70% rain.
P(rain)=70% or 0.7 or 7/10
 4 Probability
Rules

2. If an event will never happen, then its probability is

0.
What is probability that it will snow in the
Philippines?
- It’s 0% or will never happen.
 4 Probability
Rules

3. If an event is sure to happen, then the probability

is 1.
Example: When a die is rolled, what is the
probability of getting a number less than 7?
 4 Probability
Rules

4. The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes in the

sample space is 1.
Example: (Flipping a coin)
 Real World
Example
A computer company manufactures
2,50 computers each day. An average
of 100 of these computers are
returned with defects. What is the
probability that the computer you
purchased is not defective?
 Assess
