LAS 03 Illustrating A Probability Distribution For A Discrete Random Variable

This document provides information about probability distributions for discrete random variables. It defines a discrete probability distribution as consisting of the possible values a random variable can assume and the corresponding probabilities. It lists two key properties: 1) each probability must be between 0 and 1, and 2) the sum of all probabilities must equal 1. Examples provided illustrate calculating probabilities for specific events and determining if a distribution represents a valid probability distribution based on the two properties. Exercises at the end ask the learner to find additional probabilities and determine if another distribution is valid.

CONCEPT NOTES
A discrete probability distribution or a probability mass function consists of the
values a random variable can assume and the corresponding probabilities of the
values.
Properties of a Probability Distribution
1. The probability of each value of the random variable must be between or equal
to 0 and 1. In symbol, we write it as 0≤ 𝑃(𝑋) ≤ 1.
2. The sum of the probabilities of all values of the random variable must be equal
to 1. In symbol, we write it as Σ 𝑃(𝑋) = 1.

Examples:
A. Find the probability of the following events:
1. Getting an even number in a single roll of a die.
Answer: ½ since there are 3 even numbers in a die.
2. Getting a red ball from a box containing 3 red and 6 black balls.
1
Answer: since there are 3 out of 9 balls from a box

B. Determine whether the distribution represents a probability distribution.
1.
X 1 5 8 7 9
P(X) 1 1 1 1 1
5 5 5 5 5
Answer: It is a probability distribution because the total or the sum of P(X) is 1.
EXERCISES:
A. Find the probability of the following events:
1. Getting an odd number in a single roll of a die.
2. Getting a tail in tossing a coin.
B. Determine whether the distribution represents a probability distribution.
X 1 5 8 7 9
P(X) 1 1 1 1 1
3 3 3 3 3
