Random Variables

The document outlines a lesson plan that includes routines, warm-up activities, discussions, practice problems, breaks, and wrap-ups. It also covers class rules around camera use, muting, chat behavior, and tone. The lesson teaches about discrete and continuous random variables, including their definitions and examples. Key points are that a random variable assigns a number to experiment outcomes and can take discrete countable values or continuous measurable values over an interval.

Big Idea
Decision making is an
important aspect in
real-life situations and
many decisions are made
by assigning probabilities
to all possible outcomes
pertaining to situation
then evaluating the
results.

EXPERIMENT EXPERIMENT

A random variable
is a rule that
assigns a number
to each outcome of
a chance
experiment.
Example:
Consider a fair coin tossed
three times.
a. Find the value assigned to
each outcome of the
experiment by random
variable X
b. Find the event comprising
the outcomes to which
two heads occur.
a. Number of Heads in Three Coin Tosses

Outcome Value of X

HHH 3

HHT 2

HTH 2

THH 2

HTT 1

THT 1

TTH 1

TTT 0
b. Since we are interested with the outcomes to
which two heads occur, a value of 2 must be
assigned with X. That is, this event will be
written (X = 2).
We see that the event (X = 2) is given by the
set {HHT, HTH,THH}
A disposable flashlight is turned on until its
battery runs out. Let the random variable Z
denote the length (in hours) of the life span
of the battery. What are the values that Z
assume?
Solution:
The values of Z may be
any nonnegative real
number.
0⦤y⦤∞
Random variables are classified
as one of two types:
Discrete or continuous.

Discrete (COUNTED)

Continuous (MEASURED)
EXAMPLES OF DISCRETE
1. The number of defective
bolts in a sample of 10 bolts
drawn from the production.
2. The number of people in the
waiting line in a doctor’s
clinic.
3. The number of car accidents
per year in Metro Manila.
A discrete random variable is
one that can assume a
countable number of values.

A continuous random variable


is one that can assume the
infinity large number of values
corresponding to the points on
a line interval.
