 THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF PROBABILITY

The branch of Mathematics that deals with uncertainty is probability.

PROBABILITY is a measure or estimation of how likely it is that an event will occur.

EXPERIMENT is a measurement process that produces quantifiable results.

Example: throwing two dice, and dealing cards

OUTCOME is/are possible results of an experiment.

Example: the numbers shown on the two dice

SAMPLE SPACE is the set of all possible outcomes or sample points of an experiment.

SAMPLE POINT is the individual outcome of an experiment.

EVENT is any set of one or more outcomes satisfying some given conditions.

 Sample space
 Sample point
 Event

1. Suppose that you randomly pick a respondent from a class survey, then record their
undergraduate major and gender. Assume that the major is either “Business Ad”,
“Psychology”, or “Engineering” and the gender is listed as “male” or “female”
Event: (a) picking the students in Business Ad major.
(b) Choosing the students when the gender is male
2. A teenage girl is trying to put together her fall outfits. Each outfit consists of one top and one
bottom. The list below shows the pieces of clothing that she has in her closet.
TOPS- Sweater, hoodie, long-sleeved polo and polo shirt
BOTTOMS- Pants, skirt
What are the different outfits that will match?
Event: (a) When the top is matched with skirts
(b) the bottom is paired with hoodie

6.1 Generalization

With the same group. Each group will be given a

Card. Every group must construct a question using
the WH question that was connected to the topic
discussed and the other group will answer the
Question.
Example: What does experiment mean?
