Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Statistics and Probability I. Objectives
I. OBJECTIVES
a) Illustrate the probability distribution for a discrete random variable and its
properties;
b) Compute probabilities corresponding to a given discrete random variable; and
c) Construct the probability mass function of a discrete random variable and its
corresponding histogram.
III. Procedure/Methodology
A. Preliminary Activities:
Prayer
Greetings
Checking of Attendance
Setting of Standards
B. Lesson Proper:
Review
The teacher will recall the past lesson by asking questions to the students.
Motivation
The teacher will flip a coin 10 times and let the students guess the
probability of heads showing after 10 flips.
Activity
The students will be tasked to find the probability of events.
Analysis
The students will answer the following questions:
1) Based on your activity, what are the steps in finding the probability of
events?
2) What can you infer from the probabilities of the events?
Abstraction
The Probability of a discrete random variable is a list, a table, a graph, or a
formula of probabilities associated with each of its possible values. It is also
sometimes called the probability distribution function or the probability mass
function.
Example: Two (2) coins are tossed. Let X be the random variable representing the
number of heads that occur. Find the probability of each of the values of the random
variable X.
Step 1: List the Possible outcomes and assign their corresponding values of the
random variable X.
Step 2: Find the probability of the values of the random variable through relative
frequency approach which is dividing the number of occurrences of a value of the
random variable with the cardinality of the sample space.

Application
Constructing the probability distribution and histogram for the random variables
described in a situation.
1.) Three coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the
number of tails that occur. Find the values of the random variable Y.
