SP Lesson 2

The document introduces the concept of random variables, defining them as functions that assign numerical values to outcomes of random experiments. It outlines learning objectives, including the ability to illustrate discrete and continuous random variables and determine their possible values. Additionally, it provides examples and practice tasks related to random experiments, sample spaces, and outcomes.

Random Experiment

A random experiment is an experiment that can be


repeated numerous times under the same conditions.
The results must be independent of one another.
Example:
Tossing a coin is a random experiment.
Learn about It!

Outcome

An outcome is the result of a random experiment.

Example:
The possible outcomes of tossing a coin are head and
tail.

Sample Space

A sample space ­is the set of possible outcomes of a


random experiment; denoted by a capital letter,
usually .

Example:
The sample space of tossing a coin is .

Random Variables

A random variable is a function that associates a


numerical value to every outcome of a random
experiment; denoted by a capital letter, usually .

The domain is the sample space, and the range is


some set of real numbers.

Random Variables

Example:
Suppose represents the number of heads that can
appear in tossing a coin. The possible values of the
random variable are 0 and 1.

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents


the number of tails of the outcome, what are the
possible values of ?
Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents the number of


tails of the outcome, what are the possible values of ?

Solution:
1. List the possible outcomes of the experiment.
This can be done using a table or tree diagram. Let
represent heads and represent tails.
Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents the number of


tails of the outcome, what are the possible values of ?

Solution:
1. List the possible outcomes of the experiment.
Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents the number of


tails of the outcome, what are the possible values of ?

Solution:
1. List the possible outcomes of the experiment.
From the illustration on the previous slide, we can
say that the possible outcomes are:

𝑆={𝐻𝐻𝐻,𝐻𝐻𝑇,𝐻𝑇𝐻,𝐻𝑇𝑇,𝑇𝐻𝐻,𝑇𝐻𝑇,𝑇𝑇𝐻,𝑇𝑇𝑇}
Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents the number of


tails of the outcome, what are the possible values of ?

Solution:
2. Count the number of tails in each outcome.
Possible Number of Possible Number of
outcomes tails outcomes tails
HHH 0 THH 1
HHT 1 THT 2
HTH 1 TTH 2
HTT 2 TTT 3
Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 2: A coin is flipped three times. If represents the number of


tails of the outcome, what are the possible values of ?

Solution:
2. Count the number of tails in each outcome.

Based on the table, the number of tails can be , , ,


or .

Thus, the possible values of are and.
