PART 2
You are going to apply what you have learned about the random variables. You are expected to solve problems regarding
finding the value of a random variable and applying properties of the probability distribution.
What you need:
A piece of paper/Bond Paper Ballpen or any writing material
What you must do:
Read and analyze the problem below. After reading, construct a probability distribution and compute the mean, variance
and standard deviation. You will be scored based on the given rubric.
Problem:
Kate is a boutique shop owner in her town. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a facemask of a person is required for
their safety. Since there are limited stocks available, she decided to start another business by making a face mask. She
started selling a face mask from day 1 to day 10. The data she collected is shown in the table below:
DAY NUMBER OF FACE MASK (X)
1 25
2 20
3 15
4 14
5 15
6 10
7 12
8 10
9 15
10 14
