students will touch their knees, “Awake”
all students will raise their hands way up in
the air. The student who failed to follow
the instruction will answer the following
questions.
 How many
sections are
there in the
spinner?
 Find the
probability of
sections that
are orange?
 Find the
probability of
sections that
have B?
 How can you

 Probability
of a Union of
Mutually
Exclusive
Events
 The Probability of a Union
of Mutually Exclusive Events
• A Compound Event consist of two or more simple events
that are connected by the word and or or.

• Two events are Mutually Eclusive if both events cannot

occur at the same time.

• These events have no common elements.

P (A or B)
P = P(A) + P(B)
• The conjunction “or” it denotes Union, “or” means
addition.

Jojo and Mimi decided to play Damath
to ease their boredom brought about
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
They agreed that they will roll a die to

makes the first move. Mimi rolls the
die and gets a 4. What is the
probability that
Jojo gets to play first?
