I. Learning Objectives
At the end of a 60–minute lesson, at least 75% of the students should be able to achieve
the following with at least 75% level of proficiency:
A. Identify the type of probability used in every problem if it is mutually inclusive,
mutually exclusive or conditional,
B. Identify the different formulas in solving probability and;
C. Solve problems involving probability.

III. Procedures
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance
B. Review/Motivation
The teacher will divide the class into two groups. Statements about probability will be
given and the student’s task is to arrange the jumbled letters to find the answer. They will
be given 5 minutes to answer. The fastest group who can finish the task will be declared
winners.
C. Presentation of the Lesson
After conducting the activity, the teacher will ask the students what is the next topic to
be discussed.
D. Development of the Lesson
The teacher will provide different types of problems involving probability. To assure
that the students really understand what is probability, in every problem, they are going to identify
the type of probability, what is given, the formula and the answer.
Example: A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 8 green marbles and 6 red marbles. Carlo draws
one ball at random. What is the probability that the marble is either red or green?
Type of events in probability: (Mutually Exclusive)
Given: 6 red marbles and 8 green marbles
 Formula: 𝑃 (𝐴 𝑜𝑟 𝐵) = (𝐴) + (𝐵)
6 8 14 7
Answer: P (red or green) = + = ∨
18 18 18 9

Therefore, the probability of drawn marble is either red or green is .

(The teacher will let the students answer the following problems based on the example
discussed.)
Problem #1.
In this ‘new normal situation’, nobody can go out without wearing a face mask. Mark has
15 disposable face masks: 4 are red, 6 are blue and 5 are green. What is the probability
that he will wear a red or a blue face mask today?
Problem #2.
If there is 30% chance of rain on Saturday, 70% chance of rain on Sunday, and 21%
chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday, what is the probability that it will rain on either
Saturday or Sunday?
Problem #3.
At Kennedy Middle School, the probability that a student takes Technology and Spanish is
0.087. The probability that a student takes Technology is 0.68. What is the probability that a student
takes Spanish given that the student is taking Technology?

GROUP ACTIVITY! (Time Allotted: 15 minutes)

John Donne famously wrote this poem comparing people to countries and arguing for the
interconnectedness of all people with God.

Directions. The class will be divided into 4 groups. To decode the message, solve the following
problems on a separate sheet of paper. Show your solutions.
1) In New York State, 48% of all teenagers own a skateboard and 39% of all teenagers own a
skateboard and rollerblades. What is the probability that a teenager owns rollerblades given that the
teenager owns a skateboard?
2) A number is drawn at random from the set {1, 2, 3, . . ., 20}. Find the probability that the
number chosen is a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 10.
3) Suppose out of 100 grade10 students, 35 play basketball, 25 play volleyball and 10 play
basketball and volleyball. What is the probability that a student play basketball or volleyball?
4) Each of the letter’s S, A, F, E, T and Y is written on a face of a letter cube. Find the probability
that a letter of the word FACE or a letter of the word MASK will appear when you roll the
letter cube once.
5) At a middle school, 18% of all students play football and basketball and 32% of all students play
football. What is the probability that a student plays basketball given that the student plays football?
6) A spinner is divided into 7 congruent parts. If it is spun once, find the probability of getting a 1
or a composite number.
7) Each of the letters A, B, C, D, E and F is written on a face of a cube. If the cube is rolled
once, what is the probability of that ‘a consonant’ or ‘a letter in the word FADE’ turn up?
8) A box of miniature cars contains 6 red cars, 5 blue cars and 7 black cars. One car is drawn at
random from the box. What is the probability of drawing either a red or a black car?

E. Generalization
The teacher will ask the students to sum up the discussion by listing down what they
have learned in the topic.
Direction: Categorize each statement below whether mutually exclusive, mutually
inclusive or conditional probability. Write your answer in the table.
Mutually Exclusive Events Mutually Inclusive Events Conditional Events

Statements:
 Events that can occur at the same time
 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)= 𝑃(𝐴)+ 𝑃(𝐵)
 Disjoint sets

 𝑃(A|B) =
P ( A ∩B)
.
P( B)
 𝑷(𝑨 ∪ 𝑩) = 𝑷(𝑨)+ 𝑷(𝑩)− 𝑷(𝑨 ∩ 𝑩)
 Events that cannot happen at the same time
 An event occurring given that another event has already occurred

 𝑃(𝐵|𝐴) =
P ( A ∩B)
P( A )
IV. Evaluation
Directions: Solve the following problems involving probability.
1. A die is rolled once. What is the probability of an even number or a factor of 6
turning up?
1 1 1
2. The probabilities of three students X, Y and Z winning the math quiz bee is , and ,
5 6 3
respectively. If only one contestant can win the quiz bee, find the probability that:
a) either X or Y wins
b) neither X nor Z wins

V. Assignment
Cite 5 examples problems involving probability and identify what type of probability is
involved. Solve the problem and show your solutions.
 APPENDIX A

KEY ANSWERS IN EVALUATION

1. A die has six faces numbered 1 – 6, so, (𝑆)= 6.
Let: A = {even number} and B = {factor of 6}
A = {2, 4, 6} B = {1, 2, 3, 6}
(𝐴)= 3 (𝐵)= 4
𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {2, 6} (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)= 2
𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)= 𝑃(𝐴)+ 𝑃(𝐵)− 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)

𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)=
3 4 2
+ −
6 6 6

𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) =

6

∴The probability of getting an even number or a factor of 6 is , .

2. Since only one candidate can win, the events are mutually exclusive.
a) 𝑃(X or Y wins) = 𝑃(X wins) + 𝑃(Y wins)

= + = .
5 6 30
b) To get the probability that neither X nor Z wins, we get first its complement
which is either X or Z wins, then, subtract it from 1.
𝑃(X or Z wins) = 𝑃(X wins) + (Z wins)
1 1 8
= .+ .= .

(Neither X nor Z wins) = 1 − 𝑃 (X or Z wins)

(Neither X nor Z wins) =
