By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Calculate median in real-life data situations;
Apply the median formula to various data sets;
Appreciate the role of median in data interpretation.

Learners are presented with data on number of nights spent by people in a table.
Learners complete the cumulative frequency column and determine the median class.
Learners apply the median formula to calculate the median value.

How is the median used to interpret real-life data?

Data Handling and Probability

Probability - Equally likely outcomes
Probability - Range of probability

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Perform experiments involving equally likely outcomes;
Record outcomes of chance experiments;
Appreciate that some events have equal chances of occurring.

Learners work in groups to flip a fair coin 20 times.
Learners record the number of times heads and tails come up.
Learners divide the number of times heads or tails comes up by the total number of tosses to find probabilities.

What makes events equally likely to occur?

Probability - Complementary events
Probability - Mutually exclusive events

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Calculate probability of complementary events;
Understand that sum of probabilities of complementary events is 1;
Show interest in applying complementary probability in real-life situations.

Learners discuss examples of complementary events.
Learners solve problems where the probability of one event is given and they need to find the probability of its complement.
Learners verify that the sum of probabilities of an event and its complement equals 1.

How are complementary events related in terms of their probabilities?

Probability - Experiments with mutually exclusive events

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Perform experiments of single chance involving mutually exclusive events;
Calculate probability of mutually exclusive events;
Value the application of mutually exclusive events in real-life.

Learners toss a fair die several times and record the numbers that show up.
Learners solve problems involving mutually exclusive events like picking a pen of a specific color from a box.
Learners find probabilities of individual events and their union.

How do we calculate the probability of mutually exclusive events?

Data Handling and Probability

Probability - Independent events
Probability - Calculating probabilities of independent events

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

Perform experiments involving independent events;
Understand that outcome of one event doesn't affect another;
Show interest in applying independent events probability in real-life.

Learners toss a fair coin and a fair die at the same time and record outcomes.
Learners repeat the experiment several times.
Learners discuss that the outcome of the coin toss doesn't affect the outcome of the die roll (independence).

What makes events independent from each other?
