EXCEPT.

PERFORMANCE TASK
I. Direction: Consider each problem below. Draw a Venn diagram for each.
Determine whether the events are mutually exclusive or not mutually
exclusive. Then, find the probability.
1. Mario has 45 red chips, 12 blue chips, and 24 white chips. What is the
probability that Mario randomly selects a red chip or a white chip?
2. Of 240 students, 176 are on the honor roll, 48 are members of the varsity
team, and 36 are in the honor roll and are also members of the varsity team.
What is the probability that a randomly selected student is on the honor roll or
is a member of the varsity team?
II. Direction: Consider the situation below and answer the questions that
follow.
1. A bag of jelly beans contains 10 red, 6 green, 7 yellow, and 5 orange jelly
beans. What is the probability of randomly choosing a red jelly bean, replacing
it, randomly choosing another red jelly bean, replacing it, and then randomly
choosing an orange jelly bean?
2. Rene and Cris went to a grocery store to buy drinks. They chose from 10
different brands of juice drinks, 6 different brands of carbonated drinks, and 3
different brands of mineral water. What is the probability that Rene and Cris
both chose juice drinks, if Rene randomly chose first and liked the first brand
he picked up?
Answer the following questions.
1. Differentiate a dependent event from an independent event.
2. What is the difference between mutually and not mutually exclusive
events?
Reflect:
a. What new realizations do you have about the probability of a dependent
event?
b. Think about your daily experience. How is probability utilized in newspaper,
television shows, and radio programs that interest you? What are your
general impressions of the ways in which probability in which probability is
used in the print media and entertainment industry?

QUESTIONS:
1. An independent events the outcome of one event does not affect the
outcome of the other, the sample space unchanged while the
dependent events the outcome of one event affect the outcome of the
other, the sample space decreases.
2. Events are said to be mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the
same time or simultaneously. The mutually exclusive events are also
called Disjoint Events while the not mutually exclusive events are the
events that can happen at the same time or they have at least one
outcome in common
