 What I Need to Know

Good day Mathletes! This module was designed and written to help you gain
understanding and test your ability in analyzing data obtained from chance using
experiments involving letter cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to 20)!

We knew that a probability is a mathematical way of describing how likely it

is that something will happen given by favorable outcomes by possible outcomes. A
favorable outcome is the outcome of interest or a result we want to happen. An
outcome is the result of an experiment. When dealing with probabilities, it is
important to be able to identify all the possible outcomes. When the result is what
we expected, then it is the favorable outcome. The greater the probability of an event,
the more likely it will occur. The smaller the probability of an event, the less likely
the probability.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

 analyze data obtained from chance using experiments involving letter
cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to 20).
 appreciate the importance of analyzing data obtained from chance using
experiments involving letter cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to 20).

Before going any further, let us check your understanding about analyzing
data obtained from chance using experiments involving letter cards (A-Z) and
number cards (0 to 20).

 Lesson Analyzing Data Obtained from
Chance Using Experiments
1 Involving Letter Cards (A-Z) and
Number Cards (0 to 20)
In order to analyze data obtained from chance using experiments involving
letter cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to 20), you need to master the skills on
performing experimental probability, reducing fraction to lowest term, and changing
decimal to percent and vice versa because these will help you gain understanding
the concept of the lesson. In this module, you will learn how to analyze data obtained
from chance using experiments involving letter cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to
20). Are you ready?

What’s In

In the previous lessons, you were able to learn about experimental probability.

Note that, by doing a probability experiment, we can determine that the

number of times an event occur. We use a table and record the outcome of probability
experiment. The probability can be approximated by the fraction through the number
of times an event occurred by number of times the experiment was performed.

Let us refresh your memory and try to answer the following exercises below:
The first one is done for you.

Example: If you roll 0-5 number cube, what is the probability that you will
roll 7?
The Answer is 0/7.

1. If you roll 0-5 number cube, what is the probability that you will get
a number less than 7?
2. From number 1 situation, what is the probability that you will get
an even number?
3. From number 1 problem, what is the probability that you will get an
odd number?
4. A bag contains 12 apples and 4 oranges. What is the probability of
pulling out an apple?
5. In a bag, there are 15 M and Ms Chocolate - 4 red, 5 yellow, 3 blue
and 3 brown. What is the probability of picking blue M and Ms?

 What’s New

In this lesson, we will deal with concept of analyzing data obtained from
chance using experiments involving letter cards (A-Z) and number cards (0 to 20).

When making important decisions in life, do you

list down all the possibilities first before you make a
choice, or do you quickly make decisions? Go back to
your past experiences and see how much your decisions
affected your life.

You will understand this concept as you go

along with this module.

Let us study this problem:

PICKING A CARD

Find the probability of picking letter B?

J B F D E G H A

What Is It

A probability is a mathematical way of describing how likely it is that

something will happen. An outcome is the result of an experiment. When dealing
with probabilities, it is important to identify all the possible outcomes. When the
result is what we expected, then it is the favorable outcome. A favorable outcome is
the outcome of interest or a result we want to happen. The greater the probability of
an event, the more likely it will occur. The smaller the probability of an event, the
less likely the probability.

4 CO_Q4_Mathematics5_Module17
 In answering the above problem, we use the formula below:
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑
𝑃=
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑
1
𝑃=
8
B is 1 out of 8, or 1/8

Answer: B is 1 out of 8, therefore the probability of picking B is 1/8.

Example 2: Read and analyze the given situation.

Alphabet cards of the same size and shape were put in a bag, 3 cards have letter M,
4 cards have letter A, 2 cards have letter T and 1 card has letter H.
1. What is the total number of possible outcomes? Answer: 10 Cards
2. What is the probability of picking a:
a. card with letter M Answer: 3/10
b. card with letter A Answer: 4/10

Let us use the number line to show the probability of an event.

0% UNLIKELY LIKELY 100%

0 ½ 1

IMPOSSIBLE 50% CERTAIN

Basing from the number line, we can say that if the probability is less than ½,
an event is unlikely to happen. If the probability is more than ½ the event is likely
to happen. A probability of 1 means the event will certainly happen and a
probability of 0 means it is impossible to happen.
