Task 2 – Word Problem and Identification

Name: MATH 112

Section: Statistics and Probability
Date of Submission: Lesson 2

Part I.
A. Construct the probability distribution of the given random variable.
A grab delivery of five (5) burgers contains two (2) that are already spoiled. A buyer
receives three (3) burgers at random, list all the possible outcome in the sample space using
S to represent the spoiled burger and N to represent the unspoiled burger. Random variable
B represents the number of spoiled burger. Complete the table below.
Value of the Random Variable B
Possible Outcomes in the Sample Space
(number of spoiled burger)

The possible values of random variable B are ________________________.

Values of Random Variable B

P(B)
(no. of spoiled burger)

No. of Spoiled Burger B

P(B)

B. Draw the corresponding histogram for the probability distribution on the space
provided below.
Part II.
Answer the following questions.
The daily demand for copies of a comic at a variety store has the following probability
distribution.
Values of Random Variable C
1. What is the probability that three or P(C)
(Number of Copies)
more copies will be demanded in a 0 0.03
particular day? P(C ≥ 3) 1 0.06
2 0.08
Answer: _______________________ 3 0.12
4 0.16
2. What is the probability that the demand
5 0.06
will be at least two but not more than six? 6 0.14
P(2 ≤ C ≤6) 7 0.14
8 0.10
Answer: _______________________
9 0.07
10 0.04
