Activity 3:
Reflection:
1. What do you notice about the probability of each value of the random variable? Write your
conclusion
2. In each preceding probability distributions, Get the sum of the probabilities of all the values
of the random variable. What sum did you get? Write your conclusion on this matter.
3. In what real – life instances that we could use probabilities? Discuss your answer.
