Grade/Section: Subject/Areas:

I. MELC: illustrates a random variable (discrete and continuous).

II. Objective/s:

Knowledge: Define random variable.

Skills: Distinguish between a discrete and a continuous random variable.
Values/Attitude: Actively participates to the activities/tasks given
Subject Matter: Random Variables and Probability Distributions
III. References: teacher’s guide, learner’s module
IV. Procedure:
A. Readings:

1. What is an experiment?
2. What do you call the set of all possible outcomes on a given experiment?
3. How do you list the possible outcomes of a given experiment?

The concept of probability is useful and also an important aspect in the concept of decision making in
different areas such as business, education, insurance and other real life situations concerning a certain
population.

B. Exercises for skill subjects/ Analysis:

Exercise 1.

Find a pair. You go first, toss a fair coin 10 times. Your pair let him/her roll a dice 10
times. Record the result on a table . Emphasize the domain and range of a random experiment.
From it as the bases, present the classifications of random variables with its examples.

1. How do you feel performing the activity?

2. What are your observations on the activity?

3. Is the coin or die fair? How do you say so?

A random variable, usually written X, is a variable whose possible values are numerical
outcomes of a random phenomenon. There are two types of random variables, discrete and
continuous.
 Suppose an experiment is conducted to determine the distance that a certain type of
car will travel using 10 litters of gasoline over a prescribed test course. If distance is a random
variable, then we have an infinite number of distances that cannot be equated to the number of
whole numbers.

This is an example of a continuous random variable.

Sample Space

In the study of probability, an experiment is a process or investigation from which

results are observed or recorded.An outcome is a possible result of an experiment.

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes in the experiment. It is usually
denoted by the letter S . Sample space can be written using the set notation
Exercise 2: Individual. List the sample space of the following experiments.

Experiment Sample Space

1. Tossing three coin

2. Rolling a die and tossing a coin simultaneously

3. Drawing a spade from a deck of cards

4. Drawing a card greater than 7 from a deck of cards
