MODULE 5-6: MEAN AND VARIANCE OF DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE

At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to interpret mean and the variance of discrete random variable.
At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to solve problems involving mean and the variance probability
distribution

Solve the problem below:

A group of students wishes to research about the service-satisfactory of a KARAMUTAN restaurant. One of
their criteria was the time spent by costumers on waiting for their order to be served, below are values of waited
time of 20 random respondents in terms of minutes:
10 13 15 20 20 18 15 18 13 15
15 20 15 18 15 13 10 18 13 10

Find the mean and variance of the time spent on waiting for the costumers’ order.

variable and vice versa

In a STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY exam with 50 items conducted on selected grade 11 students. The mean
score was 35 ( 𝜇 = 35 ) with a standard deviation of 3 ( 𝜎 = 3). Convert the following normal scores to their
corresponding z-score value:

1) 𝑥 = 41
A. 𝑧=1 C. 𝑧 = −1
B. 𝑧=2 D. 𝑧 = 3
2) 𝑥 = 32
A. 𝑧=1 C. 𝑧 = −1
B. 𝑧 = −2 D. 𝑧 = 3
3) 𝑥 = 26
A. 𝑧=1 C. 𝑧 = −1
B. 𝑧 = −2 D. 𝑧 = −3
4) 𝑥 = 40
A. 𝑧 = −1.67 C. 𝑧 = −2.15
B. 𝑧 = 1.67 D. 𝑧 = 2.01

5) 𝑥 = 35
A. 𝑧 = 1.21 C. 𝑧 =
B. 𝑧 = 2.11 D. 𝑧 = 0

Using the same given as above convert the following z-scores to their corresponding normal scores ( if the answers
are not in whole numbers round off to the nearest whole number, these may occur due to the rounding off of z-
scores)

9) 𝑧 = −1.67
A. 𝑥 = 38 C. 𝑥 = 40
B. 𝑥 = 39 D. 𝑥 = 30
10) 𝑧 = 3
A. 𝑥 = 45 C. 𝑥 = 40
