MATHEMATICS 6 (Quarter 4) Name of Learner: _____________________________________ School Name:_________________________________________ District: _________________ Competency: Describe the meaning of probability such as 50% chance of rain and one in a million chance of winning.M6SP-IVg-19
Directions: Read and understand the texts below and answer the questions that follows.
A weather forecaster says that there is a 70% chance of rain in the
afternoon. What does this mean? It means that the probability of rain is 70% Probability is the chance that something will happen. It is used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that something will happen. Probability may be given in fraction, decimal or percent. The value of probability ranges from 0 to 1 ( 0 means the event is impossible to happen, while 1 means the event is certain to happen). Probability will help us decide how often something is likely to happen, but it will never help you exactly when that event will happen unless the probability is 0 ( it will never happen ) or 1 ( it will surely happen). The event is unlikely to happen when its probability is closer to 0, like winning a jackpot in a lottery where you have one in a million chance of winning. The most likely to happen an event is, the closer its probability to Source: “21st Century Mathletes 6”, Burgos, Jaime R. et.al.

https://byjus.com/maths/probability/ Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in Maths to predict how likely events are to happen. The meaning of probability is basically the extent to which something is likely to happen. This is the basic probability theory, which is also used in the probability distribution, where you will learn the possibility of outcomes for a random experiment. To find the probability of a single event to occur, first, we should know the total number of possible outcomes.
Probability Definition in Math
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e. how likely they are to happen, using it. Probability can range in from 0 to 1, where 0 means the event to be an impossible one and 1 indicates a certain event. Probability for Class 10 is an important topic for the students which explains all the basic concepts of this topic. The probability of all the events in a sample space adds up to 1. For example, when we toss a coin, either we get Head OR Tail, only two possible outcomes are possible (H, T). But if we toss two coins in the air, there could be three possibilities of events to occur, such as both the coins show heads or both show tails or one shows heads and one tail, i.e.(H, H), (H, T),(T, T).
Solved Examples 1) There are 6 pillows in a bed, 3 are red, 2 are yellow and 1 is blue. What is the probability of picking a yellow pillow?
ARLYN A. RIMANDO Master Teacher I Ans: The probability is equal to the number of yellow pillows in the bed divided by the total number of pillows, i.e. 2/6 = 1/3. 2) There is a container full of coloured bottles, red, blue, green and orange. Some of the bottles are picked out and displaced. Sumit did this 1000 times and got the following results:
No. of blue bottles picked out: 300
No. of red bottles: 200 No. of green bottles: 450 No. of orange bottles: 50
At this point in the game, which is most likely to happen-Isabel will win, Joaquin will win, or Michelle will win? Since Isabel’s score is much higher than Joaquin’s and Michelle’s scores, you can say that it is most likely that Isabel will win. You can also say that it is likely that Joaquin will win.
