Illustrating an Experiment,

Outcome, Sample Space and


Event
MIRASOL Q. GENOVEA
G8-Mathematics Teacher
OBJECTIVE
At the end of today’s lesson, you should be able to;
 Illustrate an experiment, outcome, sample
space and event.
(SSP_M8SP-IVf -3-g-1)
Activity: Classify!
Directions: Group the following terms that are inside the box as
Experiment or Outcome. Write your answer in a separate sheet of paper.

head color red


flipping a coin spinning a spinner
rolling a die drawing a card from a deck of 52 cards
tail a queen of hearts
a number 3 guessing the number of marbles in a jar
Questions:
1. Were you able to classify the given
terms?

2. How did you classify them?

Your goal in this section is to learn and understand how to


illustrate an experiment, outcome, sample space and event
which would help you in your daily life in making decisions.
Definitions of Terms

Experiment is an activity involving chance that can have


different results. It is a process that, when performed,
results in exactly one of many observations. Activities such
as tossing or flipping a coin, rolling a die, or picking a
card from a standard deck of cards without looking which
could be repeated over and over again and which have well-
defined results.
Outcomes are the results of experiments. If you are flipping
a coin, head and tail are the possible outcomes.

In the previous activity, you classified the given term/s as


experiment or outcome. For instance, spinning a spinner is
an example of experiment where you can have a possible
outcome that the spinner point lands on color red.

Sample Space is the set of all possible outcomes of an


experiment and is denoted by S. If you are flipping a coin
once, head and tail are the possible outcomes. The sample
space is S = {𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅 ,𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒍}
Sample Point is an individual outcome in the sample space.
It is one of the possible outcomes.

Event is a set of some elements or outcomes of an


experiment. It is a subset of a sample space. It is not
necessary to be the actual outcome of the experiment.
Example 1.

You need to get a number 6 in rolling a die to win in the game


of snake and ladder.

Answer Key.

1. You need to get a number 6 in rolling a die to win in the


game of snake and ladder.

Possible
Experiment Outcomes Sample Space Event

An even number
Rolling a die once 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} {2, 4, 6}
Example 2.

You toss two coins (a 5-peso and a 10-peso) and observe whether
the coins show heads(H) or tail(T).

Possible
Experiment Outcomes Sample Space Event
Answer Key.

You toss two coins (a 5-peso and a 10-peso) and observe whether
the coins show heads(H) or tail(T).

Possible
Experiment Outcomes Sample Space Event

Tossing two coins (H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T) {(H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T)} {(H,T), (T,H)}


Example 3.
Jen and Jan are playing cards. Jan needs to draw a card
numbered 5 to win the game from a well-shuffled numbered 5,
8, 9, 2, 7 cards and placed face down on the table.

Answer Key.
Jen and Jan are playing cards. Jan needs to draw a card
numbered 5 to win the game from a well-shuffled numbered 5,
8, 9, 2, 7 cards and placed face down on the table.

Possible
Experiment Outcomes Sample Space Event

A prime number
Drawing a card 5, 8, 9, 2, 7 {5, 8, 9, 2, 7 } {2, 5, 7}
Example 4.
Construct a sample space that consists of rolling a single die. Find
the events that correspond to the phrases “an even number is
rolled” and “a number greater than two is rolled.”

Experiment: rolling of a single die


Sample Space: { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } or { number of dots on the top face
of the dice }
Event (an even number is rolled) = { 2,4,6 }
Event (a number greater than two is rolled) = { 3,4,5,6 }
How important an outcome of an event is in
decision making?
Practice Task
A. Directions: Complete the crossword puzzle. Words/terms
can be written vertically or horizontally.
B. Determine the possible outcome, sample space and event for
each experiment. Complete the table below.

1. Toss a coin and a die. If the event E is that exactly one of the
coins shows heads and a die shows an odd number, what is the
event?
2. Roll two dice. If the event E is that exactly one of the dice shows
an even number and the second dice shows an odd number, what
is the event?
