Getting Ready
 FAIR PRACTICE
GAME GAME

2 players
What you’ll need
 Spinners
 1 red counter and 1 yellow counter.

How to play.

1. Players pick a color and place their counters in the center section of the board.
The first player picks the spinner for the first game.

2. Players take turn spinning the spinner. They move their counter one step
forward the color on which the spinner lands.

3. The game continues until one of the players reaches a goal. The player whose
counter is the same color as the goal wins, even if the other player reaches the
goal first.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to play the game three more times.

Red

Yellow
Use a different spinner each time.

Which of the spinners are fair? Did using a fair spinner mean that each color moved
toward the goal an equal number of times? Explain.

LESSON 1 Learning Competency 103

Describes experimental probability.
 Probability is a mathematical way of describing how likely it is that
something will happen. An outcome is a result of probability experiment.

Example 1. Look at this bag.

If you pick one cube from the bag at Green Red

the right without looking, the outcome will be
either a red cube or a green cube. Red Red

Green

Is there a possibility that you will pick red?

Why? Give your reasons?

Example 2 Probability can be described by using words like certain, likely,

unlikely or impossible.

 What are the possible outcomes for each spinner?

 What words can be used to describe the probability that the spinner
will land on red? Write your answer on the blank.

READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

You can also do an experiment and collect data to find experimental

probability.

Remember, theoretical probability tells you what the outcome of an

experiment should be when the number of trials is large. In an actual
experiment, you may not get the results predicted by the theoretical
probability because the number of trials is not large.
Let’s do these. Work with a partner to find the experimental probability, P (red), of
spinning red.

Step 1. Make a spinner with 8 equal parts. Color 4

parts red, 3 parts blue, 1 part green.

Step 2. Calculate the theoretical probability of

spinning red. Then use, this result to calculate
the result you would expect if you spin the
spinner 24 times.

Step 3. Spin the spinner 24 times. Use tally marks to record the number of
times you spin red. Note: Read only the number of favorable outcomes.

Theoretical Number of Expected Actual Experimental

Probability Trials Results Results Probability
P (red) 1 24 1 = 12 red
2 2 24

Does the experimental probability get closer to or farther from the theoretical
probability as the number of trials increases?

READY FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION.

Do these.

Divide the group into two. One group will work on A, and the other will
work on B. Afterwards, exchange the activity, A will work on B, B will work
on A. Then compare the results.

LESSON 2 Learning Competency 104

Performs an experimental probability and records result by listing.

In this lesson before this, you learned to describe experimental

probability by doing some activities.
In this lesson, you will learn to perform experimental probability by
listing the results.
 A listing of all possible outcomes is called a sample space. There are
different ways to find the sample space for an experimental probability. One
of them is by listing possible outcomes

Study this.
mark and Mathew make up a game in which they first toss a number cube,
labeled with the numbers.
1,1,3,3,5 and 5 and then flip a one-peso coin. What are the possible outcomes
of tossing a number cube and the flipping of a one-peso coin?

You need:
 A number cube

 A one-peso coin

Make a list for each number tossed, list heads and tails.

Number tossed: Coin flipped

1 heads
1 tails
3 heads
3 tails
5 heads
5 tails

Solution: There are six different outcomes:

1 and heads
1 and tails
3 and heads
5 and heads and
5 and tails.

Let’s have this example.

Analyzes data obtained from chance using experiments letter cards (A to Z) and
number cards (0- 20 ).

Study this.

Choose a partner to play with this probability game using the cards
below.

C H L O R O P H Y L L
These cards will be placed in a box enough to fit your left or right hand
and mixed up. You can also place the cards faced down on your table.
Let’s do this with your partner.

Step 1. Count the number of letters in word CHLOROPHYLL.

How many letters are there? 14

Step 2. Count the number of letters that are repeated in the word.
L=3
O=2

How many letters or possible outcomes do we have?

There are 10 letters or 10 possible outcomes.

So, the probability of picking letter L is 3 out of 10 – unlikely and the probability of
picking an 0 is 2 out of 10 – unlikely and the probability or chance to pick the other
letter is 1 out of 10 – unlikely.

Summary:

In this module you learned the following:

1. Describe experimental probability.

Probability – is a mathematical way of describing how likely it is that
something will happen. An outcome is a result of probability
experiment.

The data collected in an experiment can be used to find experimental

probability. In an actual experiment, you may not get the results
predicted by the theoretical probability because the number of trials is
not large.

2. Performs experimental probability and records result by listing.

Example: Make a list each time you tossed two coins. List heads and tails.

3. Analyzes data obtained from chances using experiments involving letter

cards (A-Z), and number cards (0-20).

4. Solves routine and non-routine problems involving experimental probability

and

5. Creates routine and non-routine problems involving experimental

probability.
