describe the given 4 pictures in 1 word? Reflect on your answer.
2. What are the words you were able to guess?
3. How is it relevant in this week’s topic?

Many events in our lives and surroundings cannot be predicted with total certainty.
We can only predict the chance of an event to occur such as how likely they are
to happen, using the idea of probability. Probability can range from 0 to 1,
where 0 means the event is impossible to happen and 1 indicates that a certain
event will occur.

What is Probability of Events?

In general:
PROBABILITY OF EVENTS Number of favorable outcome /s
Probability of an event P ( E )=
The Probability of event E, denoted Totalby P(E),
favorableisoutcome /s
the probability that the

outcome of the experiment is contained in E. The probability of all the

events in a sample space adds up to 1.

Teacher Rose asked the 40 students in her Math class if they preferred Modular (M)
or Online (O) distance learning modality or both. The results are shown in the different
Venn diagrams.

Directions: Given the shaded part/s in the Venn Diagram, identify the probability of
the indicated event/s by supplying the correct answer inside the blank box.

Key Points
Probability of Events
The Probability of event E, denoted by P(E), is the probability that the
outcome of the experiment is contained in E. The probability of all the
events in a sample space adds up to 1.

Probability of a Union of Two Events

The probability that events A or B occur is the probability of the union of A
and B. The probability of a Union of Events A and B or both is denoted by
P(A U B).
Case 1: If there is no common element in events A and B (Mutually Exclusive), then
Favorable Outcomes for A U B
P(A U B) = Total Number of Outcomes
Case 2: If there is a common element
( Favorable in events
Outcomes for A UAB)−(
and FavorableOutcomes
B (Not Mutually Exclusive),
for A ∩B)then
P(A U B) =
Total Number of Outcomes

Probability of an Intersection of Two Events

The probability that events A and B occur is the probability of the
intersection of A and B. The probability of an intersection of Event A and B
is denoted by P(A ∩ B).
Favorable Outcomes for A ∩ B
P(A ∩ B) = Total Number of Outcomes
