Statistics and Probability

This document discusses probability and statistics concepts including: 1) Describing sample spaces and possible outcomes for experiments like coin tosses and receiving computers from a shipment. It assigns values to random variables representing these outcomes. 2) Classifying random variables as discrete or continuous, such as the number of defective computers produced (discrete) or the weight of newborns (continuous). 3) Listing elements of a sample space and assigning values to a random variable for 3 coin tosses.

NAME:_________________________________
GRADE & SECTION:_______________________

ACTIVITY no. 4.1

1. Four coins are tossed. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of heads that occur. Find the
values of the random variable Z.
Possible Outcomes Value of the Random Variable Z
(Number of Heads)

2. A shipment of 5 computers contains 2 that are slightly defective, is a retailer receives three of their
computers at random, list the element be the elements of the sample space 5 using the letter D and N
for defective and none defective computers respectively. to each sample point assign a value of X of
the random variable X representing which is slightly defective.
Possible Outcomes Value of the Random Variable Z
(Number of slightly defective computers)
3. Let T be a random variable giving the number of heads plus the number of tails in 3 tosses of a coin. List the
elements of the sample space S for the 3 tosses of the coin and assign a value to each sample point.

Possible Outcomes Value of the Random Variable Z

4. Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous.


a. The number of defective computers produced by a manufacturer = discrete

b. The weight of newborns each year in a hospital = continuous

c. The number of siblings in a family of a region = discrete

d. The amount of paint utilized in a building project = continuous

e. The number of dropout in a school district for a period of 10 years = discrete

f. The speed of car = continuous
