 MECHANICS

Find the following words in the

puzzle.
PROBABILITY
•EVENTS
•INDEPENDENT
•DEPENDENT
DEPENDENT OR
INDEPENDENT
Identify the given situation whether it is
dependent or independent. Explain.
Situation # 1 Fishermen in Barangay
Dalahican go fishing in the nearby sea. The
probability of a successful catch depends
on the tide conditions. During high tide, the
probability of catching fish increases due to
higher water levels, while during low tide,
the probability decreases.
 EXPLANATION

Explanation:
• This is a dependent event because the
probability of a successful catch is
influenced by the tide conditions. Fish
are more abundant and easier to catch
during high tide, making the outcome
dependent on tide levels.
Identify the given situation whether it is
dependent or independent. Explain.

Situation # 2 Youth in Barangay

Dalahican play basketball at the local
court. The probability of playing does
not depend on weather conditions.
Whether it's sunny or rainy, they still
gather to play.
 EXPLANATION

Explanation:
• This is an independent event
because playing basketball is not
influenced by weather conditions.
Regardless of the weather, the
probability of playing remains the
same.
Identify the given situation whether it is
dependent or independent. Explain.

Situation # 3 Residents in Barangay

Dalahican choose their outfit for the day
based on personal preference. Whether they
wear shorts or pants, it's solely based on
individual choice and not influenced by
external factors.
 EXPLANATION

Explanation:
• Residents in Barangay Dalahican choose
their outfit for the day based on personal
preference. Whether they wear shorts or
pants, it's solely based on individual
choice and not influenced by external
factors.
Identify the given situation whether it is
dependent or independent. Explain.

Situation # 4 Residents in
Barangay Dalahican decide how to
travel to their destination. Whether
they choose to walk, ride a bicycle, or
take public transportation, it's based
on personal preference and
convenience.
 EXPLANATION

Explanation:
• This is an independent event because the
choice of transportation mode is not
influenced by external factors. Each
person's decision is independent of
others and previous choices, and the
probability of choosing a specific mode of
transportation remains the same
regardless of other factors.
Identify the given situation whether it is
dependent or independent. Explain.
Situation # 5 Lucena Dalahican
National High School maintain vegetable
gardens through Gulayan sa Paaralan. The
probability of a successful harvest depends
on rainfall patterns. If there is regular
rainfall, the probability of a bountiful
harvest increases. Conversely, during
drought conditions, the probability
decreases.
 EXPLANATION

Explanation:
• This is a dependent event because
the success of the vegetable garden
is influenced by rainfall patterns.
Adequate rainfall provides essential
moisture for plant growth, affecting
the probability of a successful
harvest.
 ANALYSIS
•1. What are the situations that belongs to dependent
events?
•2. Why do you think that those events are dependent
events?
•3. What are the situations that belongs to independent
events?
•4. Why do you think that those events are independent
events?
•5. How can you form an example of independent events?
•6. Can you think an example of independent events? What
is it?
 INDEPENDENT EVENTS
Two events A and B are
independent events if the
occurrence of event A does
not affect the probability of
event B.
 EXAMPLES OF INDEPENDENT
EVENTS
Examples:
 Getting a tail “and” and landing on 3 on a fair die
 Choosing an ace from a standard deck of cards
then putting it back on the deck “and” choosing
a jack.
 In a fair die, landing on a 6 on the first roll “and”
a 4 on the second roll
FORMULA OF PROBABILITY OF
INDEPENDENT EVENTS
 EXAMPLE #1
A coin is tossed and a fair die
is rolled. What is the probability
of getting a head and a 2?
SOLUTION
 EXAMPLE #2

A coin is tossed twice.

What is the probability of
getting a head and a tail?
SOLUTION
 EXAMPLE #3

A fair die is rolled

twice. What is the
probability of getting a
even and a composite
number?
