Activity 2. Number of Tails (10 Groups)
A. Consider tossing two coins. What is the average number of
tails that would appear? To answer this question do the following
steps:
1. Construct the probability distribution for the random variable
x representing the number of tails that would appear.
2. Multiply the value of random variable x by corresponding
probability.

Learning Competencies:
• Illustrate the mean and variance of a discrete
random variable.
• Calculate the mean and the variance of a
discrete random variable.
• Interpret the mean and the variance of a
discrete random variable.
• Solve problems involving mean and variance of
probability distributions.
The mean of discrete random variable X
is the weighted average of the possible
values that the random variable can
take.
➢ It is also called as Expected Value.

➢ Formula:
μ=∑ x . P(x)
where:
x – outcome
p(x) – Probability of the Outcome
Example 1:
Grocery Items
The probabilities that a customer will buy 1, 2, 3,
4, or 5 items in a grocery store are 3/10 1/10 1/10
2/10 and 3/10 respectively. What is the average
number of items that a customer will buy?
Example 2:
A Die
Consider rolling a die. What is the average
number of spots/dots that would appear.

The variance and standard deviation of
discrete random variable describe the
amount of spread , dispersion or variability of
the items in a distribution.
Variance of Discrete Random Variable

➢ is the average of the squared deviations of


the random variable from its
mean (expected value).
Variance of Discrete Random Variable

➢ For a discrete random variable X, the variance


σ2 is calculated as:
σ2 = ∑(x−μ)2 ∙ P(x )
𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒:
X = value of random variable
P(x) = probability of random variable
μ = mean of the probability distribution
Standard Deviation of Discrete Random Variable

➢ is the square root of the variance.


➢ For a discrete random variable X, the standard
deviation σ is calculated as:

σ = ∑(x−μ)2 ∙ P(x )
Example 1.
Number of Car Sold
The number of cars sold per day at a local car
dealership, along with its corresponding probabilities,
is shown in the succeeding table. Compute the mean,
variance and the standard deviation of the probability
distribution. Interpret the results.
