Lesson 1: Random Variables and Probability Distribution


Lesson 1.1 Exploring Random Variables

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the learning episode, you are expected to:


1. illustrate random variable; and
2. find the possible values of a random variable.

PRETEST
Direct
ion: Write True if the statement is correct and False if the
statement is incorrect.
1. Rolling a die has two possible outcomes.
2. Random variables can be classified as finite or infinite
random variables.
3. Random variable is a way to map outcomes of a statistical
experiment determined by a chance in to number.
4. There are four possible outcomes when four coins being
tossed.
5. A random variable can only have one value.

RECAP

In your previous lessons in Mathematics 10, an experiment is an


activity which can be done repeatedly under similar conditions and you have
learned also how to list all the possible outcomes in a given experiment.
Below are lists of sample spaces given the experiment.
LESSON

In this lesson, you will learn about variables that are associated with
probabilities called random variable. We will use a capital letter to represent
a variable.
Random variable is a function that associates a real number of each
element in the sample space.
Steps on how to determine the random variables on any events or
experiments:
1. Determine the sample space. Assign letters that will represent each
outcome.
2. Count the number of the value of the random variable (capital
letter assigned).
Example 1
Suppose two coins are tossed. Let H represent heads, T represent tails and
X be the random variable representing the number of heads that will occur.
Find the values of the random variable X.
So the possible values of random variable X are 0, 1 and 2. We can also say,
X= 0, 1, 2.
Example 2
Suppose there are three people to be tested in Covid-19. Let P represent
positive, N represent negative and Z be the random variable representing the
number of infected person that occur. Find the random variable Z.

So the possible values of random variable Z are 0, 1, 2, and 3. We can also


say, X= 0, 1, 2, 3.

Example 3
Two winners will be drawn from 5 security guards (S) and 6 canteen staff
(C). Let W be the random variable representing the canteen staffs. Find the
values of random variable W.

So the possible values of random variable W are 0, 1 and 2. We can also say,
W= 0, 1, 2.
ACTIVITIES

1. Four coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable that represent the
number of tail that will occur. Find the values of random variable Y.

2. Five computers will be delivered to a certain school for testing, but three
of them are defective. The principal will get two of these computers for
his office. Let T represent the random variable representing the defective
computers will occur. Find the values of random variable T.
WRAP–UP

Random variable is a function that associates a real number of each


element in the sample space.

Steps on how to determine the random variables on any events or


experiments:
1. Determine the sample space. Assign letters that will represent each
outcome.
2. Count the number of the value of the random variable (capital letter
assigned).

VALUING
In
our lesson, we were able to perform mapping of the
outcomes of a statistical experiment determined by a chance in to number.
We are dealing here with chances. In life, managing risk is important
especially in our situation now that we cannot see our enemy. Now it’s up to
you to decide as young adult to risk or to save lives.

POSTTEST

I. Write the letter that corresponds to the correct answer.

2. If two coins are tossed, which is NOT a possible value of the random
variable for the number of tails?
a. 0 b1
c.2 d. 3
3. Suppose three coins are tossed. Let Z be the random variable
representing the number of heads that occur. Find the values of the
random variable Z.
a. Z = 0, 1, 2 c. Z = 1, 2, 3
b. Z = 0, 1, 2, 3 d. Z = 1, 2, 3, 4

4. Suppose there are four people to be tested in Covid-19. Let V be the


random variable representing the number of infected that occur. Find
the random variable V.
a. V = 0, 1, 2 c. V = 1, 2, 3
b. V = 0, 1, 2, 3 d. V = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

5. Which of the following statement is NOT true?


a. Random variables can only have one value.
b. The value of a random variable could be zero.
c. The probability of the value of a random variable could be zero.
d. A random variable represents numerical outcomes for different
situations or events.

II. Ten android tablets will be delivered to a certain school for testing but
three of them are defective. The principal will get two of these tablets
for testing. Let X represent the defective tablet, Y represent the non-
defective tablet and L represent the random variable representing the
defective tablet will occur. Complete the table below and find the
values of random variable L.
