"Alright class! Lets get started! Today we are 

having a special guest come in to teach us 

about probabilities and the 5-D Process! Now 

make sure to pay attention because this lesson 

is very important. I welcome, the Math 

Magician!" , the teacher said. 

The kids groaned. All of their minds thought 

the same thing-- another boring speaker? 

Math is the worst. But little did they know that 

today would be one of the best days ever for 

them. 

"Hello class!", the wizard exclaimed. The kids barely 

even gave him a groan. "We don't have much time for 

me to be here, so lets get right to work! Now can anyone 

tell me what the 5-D process is?"

Nobody replied. 

"Anyone?"

Again nothing. 

Finally, Fiona, the class pet shot up her hand and said, 

"The 5-D Process is the process that you can use to 

figure out several events or compound events. 

Compound events are the probabilities of combinations 

of simple events. To figure out compound events, 

remember, you can add each individual event to create 

one final answer!"

The wizard replied, "Well thank you for telling us what 

COMPOUND EVENTS are, but what is the 5-D process?"

Fiona blushed in embarrassment and stayed 

quiet until the wizard cried, 

"Oh, for petes sake! Someone is this class help 

her!"

Yet again nobody can a peep. 

Aggravated, the wizard said, "Well, the 5-D 

Process consists of many different things to 

organize a problem. There is Describe/Draw, 

Define, Do, Decide, and Declare. "

The children silently nodded their heads to 

show understanding. Yet nobody seemed 

interested. 

The wizard sighed in frustration. 

"Okay then, nobody wants to participate. That's   fine. 

I guess you all will just have to miss the coolest thing 

you would have ever seen because you are too busy 

SLEEPING IN CLASS!"

Suddenly, the kids' interest seemed to pike up a bit. 

Tom, an adventure fanatic, said, "What?! Do you 

mean an adventure! Take me with you! Take me with 

you!"

"Only if you decide to listen", the wizard said. 

The class agreed and thought about what he might 

show them. 

"Well, before we go, I think we should get a bit 

more basic knowledge in us so that we are 

prepared for the exciting trip", the wizard said. 

"Now let's go over the ways to organize 

events. Does anyone know what I'm talking 

about? Well, I'm talking about systematic lists, 

probability tables, and probability trees!" 

"Systematic lists are lists created by following 

a system or organized process. You must have 

two events to create a systematic list. "

"A probability table organizes information if there are are 

exactly two events. Lastly, probability trees organizes 

information with 2 + events. Got it?", said the wizard. 

The whole class nodded their heads, longing to see what 

the wizard was going to show them. 

 "Now, I know what all of you are thinking, class. You all 

want to know what I am going to show you. But first, we 

have to go over some quick review about what an 

outcome/ possible outcomes are. 

Selena, also known as captain obvious, shouted, "Well  

an outcome is an answer or a way something turns out 

and a possible outcome is the same thing, just not 

completely certain! Duh!"
