Learners divide the number of times heads or tails comes up by the total number of tosses to find probabilities.

What makes events equally likely to occur?

Data Handling and Probability

Probability - Range of probability
Probability - Complementary events

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Determine the range of probability of an event;
Understand that probability ranges from 0 to 1;
Value the concept of probability range in real-life situations.

Learners use a fair die in this activity and toss it 20 times.
Learners record the number of times each face shows up and calculate relative frequencies.
Learners find the sum of the fractions and discuss that probabilities range from 0 to 1.

What is the range of probability values and what do these values signify?

Probability - Mutually exclusive events

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Identify mutually exclusive events in real-life situations;

Appreciate the concept of mutually exclusive events.

Learners flip a fair coin several times and record the face that shows up.
Learners discuss that heads and tails cannot show up at the same time (mutually exclusive).
Learners identify mutually exclusive events from various examples.

What makes events mutually exclusive?
