Semi – Detailed Lesson Plan in Statistics and Probability
Date: October 29, 2019
Grade & Section: 11-Humss and 11-ABM
I. Objective
At the end of the lesson, the learner is able to illustrate a random variable (discrete and
continuous).
Code: M11/12SP-IIIa-1
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic : Exploring Random Variables
B. References : Statistics and Probability Textbooks pp. 1 and Curriculum Guide pp.
1.
C. Instructional Materials : Visual Aid, Chalkboard, and Book
III. Procedure
A. Review
To find out if you are ready to learn this new lesson, let us do the following
activity:
ENTRY CARD
List the sample space of the following experiments.
Experiment Sample Space
1. Tossing three coins
2. Rolling a die and tossing a coin
simultaneously
3. Drawing a spade from a deck of cards
4. getting a defective item when two
items are randomly selected from a box of
two defective and three non defective
non- defective items
5. Drawing a card greater than 7 from a
deck of cards

B. Motivation
Let the students answer this question:
If three coins are tossed, what numbers can be assigned for the frequency of
heads that will occur?

Lesson Proper
C. Activity
Let us do the activity:
Defective Cell Phones
 Supposed three phones are tested at random. We want to find out the number of
defective cell phones that occur. Thus, to each outcome in the sample space we
shall assign a value. These are 0, 1, 2, or 3. If there is no defective cell phone, we
assign the number 0; if there is 1 defective cell phone, we assign the number 1; if
there are two defective cell phones, we assign the number 2; and 3 if there are
three defective cell phones. The number of defective cell phones is a random
variable. The possible values of this random variable are 0,1,2, and 3.

Let D represent the defective cell phone and N represent the non- defective cell
phone. If we let X be the random variable representing the number of defective
cell phones, can you show the values of the random variable X?
D. Analysis
1. How did you find the activity?
2. Did you understand what random variable is?
3. How do you describe random variable?
4. How about discrete and continuous random variable?
5. Can you give an example of these two types of random variable?
E. Abstraction
Generalization of the lesson by giving more examples of random variables.
F. Application
Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing
5 red balls and 6 blue balls. Let Z be the random variable representing the number
of blue balls. Find the values of the random variable Z..
IV. Evaluation
Directions: Determine whether the following random variables is discrete or continuous.
Write D if it is discrete and C otherwise.
1. the number of defective computers produced by the manufacturer
2. The weight of newborns each year in the hospital
3. The number of siblings in a family of a region
4. the amount of paint utilized in a building project
5. the speed of a car

V. Assignment
Give at least 5 examples of each random variable.
