The document describes a carenderia near a construction site offering combo meals to workers, including a promotional offer of a free meal for every ten purchased. It explains basic concepts of probability, such as experiments, outcomes, sample spaces, and events, using examples like rolling a die and tossing a coin. Additionally, it provides solutions to various probability scenarios, illustrating how to determine possible outcomes in different situations.

Activity

What’s In?
You own a carenderia near a construction site. You offer
affordable combo meals for the construction workers. A
combo meal is a combination of a cup of rice, one serving
of vegetables, one serving of meat dish, and a free soup.
You How
prepared
many two vegetable dishes,
combinations can three meat dishes
be formed?
and two kinds of soup. As part of your marketing strategy,
you give 10+1 promo. For every ten combo meals a group
of construction workers buy, one extra combo meal is free.
This extra meal is given randomly by drawing a slip of
paper from a box, wherein the combo meal is written.
Let two vegetable dishes
three meat dishes
free soups
The following are possible combo
meals
S={

There are 12 different combo meals you can offer as free meal to
the construction workers.
Definition and
Terms of
Events
The drawing of a slip of paper is called an
experiment.
An experiment is an activity that produces
results.
An outcome is a possible result of an
experiment.
Example: Rolling a die
Possible Result /
Outcomes
1,2, 3
A sample space of an experiment is the
collection of all outcomes of the experiment.
It is usually denoted by letter S.
Example: Rolling a die

Sample
Space
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
An event is a subset of a sample space of an
experiment.

Example: Rolling a die


Sample
Space
{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6}
{1 EVENT
}
{1,2
}
Find the sample space of tossing one
Solution: coin.
S = {Head,
Tail}
Therefore, there are 2 possible outcomes if
we tossed one coin.
Find the sample space of rolling a die.
Solution:

S=
{1,2,3,4,5,6}
Therefore, there are 6 possible outcomes if
we rolled a die
Find the sample space of tossing a
coin three times.
Solution:
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT,
THH, TTT, THT, TTH}
Therefore, there are 8 possible outcomes if
we tossed one coin three times.
Picking odd-numbered balls from a box
containing 15 balls numbered 1 to 15.
Solution:
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
We will only get odd number
balls.
S = {1,3,5,7,9,
11,13,15}
Therefore, there are 8 possible outcomes if we
picked odd numbered balls from a box.
A couple has three children and if it is known
that their first child is a girl.
Find the sample space of their possible
Solution: children.
S = {GGG, GGB, GBG, BBB, BBG, BGB,
GBB, BGG}
Since their first child is a girl, we will only get the
outcomes with G as the first child.
S = {GGG GGB GBG GBB
,Therefore,
, there
, are 4}possible outcomes if it is
known that their first child is a girl.
A couple has two children and if it is known
that their first child is a boy.
Find the sample space of their possible
Solution: children.
S = {GG, GB, BB, BG}
Since their first child is a boy, we will only get the
outcomes with B as the first child.
S={
BB,BG}
Therefore, there are 2 possible outcomes if it is
known that their first child is a boy.
Try this!
A die and a coin are tossed. Find the possible
outcomes of the experiment.

Solution:
S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T,
4T, 5T, 6T}
Therefore, there are 12 possible outcomes if we
tossed a die and a coin.
