This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
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).
