INTRODUCTION
Good day Mathletes! This module was designed and
written to help you gain understanding and test your
ability in solving routine and non-routine
problems on experimental probability. will help
you understand solving both routine and non-routine
probability problems.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
solve routine and non-routine problems involving
experimental probability.
(M5SP-IVJ-18)
BUT BEFORE THAT, LET'S IDENTIFY
OR WHAT'S YOUR INSIGHTS WHEN
YOU HEAR OR READ THE
FOLLOWING;
• PROBABILITY
• EXPIREMENTAL
• NON-ROUTINE PROBLEM
• ROUTINE PROBLEM
EXPIREMENTAL
is all about trying new things and seeing wha
happens; you're exploring and testing new
ideas.
PROBABILITY
It's a way of measuring how much chance
there is that something will occur.
EXPIREMENTAL + PROBABILITY
is basically figuring out how likely something is to
happen by trying it out yourself. The more times
you do the experiment, the more accurate your
probability will be.
ROUTINE PROBLEM
is a problem that you can solve just by using a formula or method
you already know. It's like when you see a math problem in a
textbook and you know exactly what to do right away because
you've done similar problems before.
NON ROUTINE
is a problem that you can't just solve by using a formula or method
PROBLEM
you already know. It's like a puzzle where you have to really think
outside the box to figure out the solution. Usually, there's not just
one step, but lots of steps, and you might have to try different
things before you find the right approach.
EXAMPLE IN PROBABILITY
Celine tossed two dice. What is the Probability of getting ”box
cars“ (two sixes)? P= Probability of an event
Formula: favorable outcomes=These are the outcomes
favorable outcomes you're interested in.

of all possible outcomes in a given situation.

appears each time. Calculate the experimental probability of
rolling a4
Understand
a. What is asked?
• the number of trials made by rolling a die
• the number of times the 4 was rolled
• the experimental probability of rolling a 4
b. What are the given facts?
• Roll a dice 30 times
• Suppose that 4 appears 6 times.

NON ROUTINE
PROBLEM
Example: Faye rolls two dice 100 times and records the sum of
the numbers on the top faces. The results are shown below.
1.Based on Faye's experiment, what is the experimental probability of rolling a sum
that is an even number?
2.Based on Faye's experiment, what is the experimental probability of rolling a sum
that is greater than 7?
3.If Faye were to combine the results of her experiment with another student who
rolled the dice 50 times and obtained a sum of 10 eight times, what would be the
combined experimental probability of rolling a sum of 10?
4.Based solely on Faye's experiment, if you were to design a game where a player wins
if they roll a sum that occurred more than 10 times, what is the experimental
probability of a player winning on any given roll?
Understand
a. What is asked?
• Calculate experimental probabilities of specific events based on Faye's
data.
b. What are the given facts?
Plan
• Identify outcomes that meet the criteria in each question.
• Calculate experimental probabilities.

LET'S TRY THIS!!
The table below shows the results of a card experiment Each time a card was
picked, it was returned to the bag
1. How many trials of picking a card were made?
2. How many times was a blue card picked?
3. What is the experimental probability of picking a red card?
4. If 10 blue cards were in the bag, how many green cards would you
predict were there?

UNDERSTAND
a. What is asked?
• the number of trials made by picking a card
• the number of times the blue card was picked
• the experimental probability of picking a red card
• the number of predicted green cards if 10 blue cards were in
the bag
b. What are the given facts?
• 27 blue cards, 15 green cards, and 8 red cards were picked.
PLAN
What strategy can we use to solve the problem?
• We can conduct the experiment of picking a card, returning it
to the bag, and recording the result. Applying the formula
could also be a good help.
SOLVE
1.We will get the sum of the number of blue, green, and red cards: 27 + 15
+ 8 = 50
2.The blue card was picked 27 times as recorded in the table.
3.A red card was picked 8 times out of 50
Hence, 8

4. Based on the provided results, picking up a blue card is about twice the
chance of picking up a green card. The number of green cards maybe 5.

Appropriate application of pattern or formula in getting the experimental
