RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILTY DISTRIBUTIONS

What’s New
Try and classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous. Each random
variable is assigned a letter. Once grouped, crack and form the “hidden words” from the
letters of each group.

(T) number of deaths due to AIDS (H) number of channels in Sea cable
(O) weight of ₱100 worth of pork (A) number of satellites orbiting the Earth
(K) number of notebooks in a student’s bag (N) number of gadgets in a household
(U) volume of diesel used in a trip (Y) time needed to solve a Rubik’s cube
From the entries written in the table above, try to fill out the table below.
Discrete Random Variable Continuous Random Variable
(T) number of deaths due to AIDS (O) weight of ₱100 worth of pork
(K) number of notebooks in a student’s bag (U) volume of diesel used in a trip
(H) number of channels in Sea cable (Y) time needed to solve a Rubik’s cube
(A) number of satellites orbiting the Earth
(N) number of gadgets in a household
Don’t forget to re-arrange the letters to form a phrase.
Hidden words: THANK YOU
DISCRETE CONTINUOUS
What I Can Do
Activity 1. Classify the following random variables as DISCRETE or CONTINUOUS.
1.Length of a cell phone charger CONTINUOUS
2.Number of gadgets in a household DISCRETE
3.Count of words encoded per minute DISCRETE
4.Amount of water consumed per day CONTINUOUS
5.Sum of burgers sold in a day DISCRETE
6.Amount of time needed to boil a liquid CONTINUOUS
7.Number of channels in a cable TV DISCRETE
8.Daily count of visitors in a mall DISCRETE
9.Distance between two barangays CONTINUOUS
10.Total area of a rice field CONTINUOUS
What’s More
Activity 2. Write your own 5 examples of random variables then identify if it is Discrete or
Continuous.
1. Number of planets around the Sun – Discrete 4. Time it takes to get to school - Continuous
2. Number of Stars in the space – Continuous 5. Number of students in a class - Discrete
3. Height of the students in a particular class – Continuous

 Activity 3. Classify the following random variables as Discrete or Continuous Random
Variables. Write DRV if it is Discrete while CRV if Continuous.
CRV 1. Time to finish a race
DRV 2. Number of diamonds in a poker hand.
CRV 3. Height of 100 students.
DRV 4. Number of doubles in roll of two dice.
CRV 5. Hours of spent answering a test.
CRV 6. Your weight before breakfast each morning.
DRV 7. The number of ships in Pearl Harbor on any given day.
CRV 8. The distance of golf ball travels after being hit with a driver.
DRV 9. The number of traffic fatalities per year in the state of Florida.
CRV 10. The amount of gasoline needed to drive your car 200 miles.
What’s New
Activity 1
1. Three voters are asked whether they are in favor of online education. Each voter’s
response is recorded as ’Yes (Y)’ or ’No (N)’. Let O be the random variable representing the
number of Yes (Y) votes that occur. Complete the table below to find the possible values of Y.

Possible Outcomes Value of Random Variable O (number of Yes

(Y) votes)
YYY 3
YYN 2
YNY 2
NYY 2
YNN 1
NYN 1
NNY 1
NNN 0
The possible values of the random variable Y are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
What I Can Do
Activity 1

Consider the histogram above. Answer the questions below.

1. What is the probability of getting more than 2 yes? 1/8
2. What is the probability of getting more than 1 yes? 3/8
3.What is the probability of getting at least 2 yes? 3/8
4.What is the probability of getting at most 1 yes? 3/8

 5.What is the probability of getting 1 or 2 yes? 3/4
7. What is the probability of getting no yes? 1/8
Activity 2
Determine whether the distribution represented is valid or not. Explain your answer.

It’s not valid because the sum of all probabilities is 5/4 which is less than and not equal to 1.

It’s not valid because the sum of all probabilities is 9/10 which is less than and not equal to
1.

It’s valid because the sum of all probabilities is equal to 1.

It’s valid because the sum of all probabilities is equal to 1.

It’s not valid because the sum of all probabilities is 1.05 which is more than and not equal to
1.
