STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

Module 1 : RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS
 Introduction and Focus Question(s):

In our previous study of mathematics, we encountered the concept of probability.
How do we use this concept in making decisions concerning a population using a
sample?
Decision making is an important aspect in business, education, insurance and
other real life situations. Many decisions are made by assigning probabilities to all
possible outcomes pertaining to the situation and then evaluating the results. For
instance, an insurance company might be able to assign probabilities to the number of
vehicles a family owns. This information will help the company in making decisions
regarding future financial situations. This situation requires the use of random variables
and the probability distribution.
This chapter will explain the concept of random variables and probability
distribution. We will learn how to construct the probability mass function of a discrete
probability distribution and describe its properties and characteristics by computing its
mean and variance.
 Module Lessons and Coverage

In these lessons you will learn the following :
Lesson 1 Exploring Random Variables  Illustrate a random variable;

discrete or continuous; and

LESSON 1: EXPLORING RANDOM VIRIABLES
 INTRODUNCTION
You have learned in your past lessons in mathematics that an experiment is any
activity, which can be done repeatedly under similar conditions. The set of all possible
outcomes of an experiment is called the SAMPLE SPACE. Example ( tossing a fair coin
once the sample space for this experiment is . Tossing a fair coin twice the sample
space
 MOTIVATION
To find out if you are ready to learn this new lesson, 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
3. Rolling a dice
4. Drawing a spade from a
deck of cards
5. Drawing a card greater
than 7 from a deck of
cards
 INTERACTIONS
Getting Ready: If three coins are tossed, what numbers can be assigned for the
frequency of heads will occur? If three cards are drawn form a deck, what numbers can
be assigned for the frequency of face cards will occur? The answers to these questions
require an understanding of random variables.
Sample activity: DEFECTIVE CELL PHONES
Recall that a variable is a characteristic or attribute that can assume different values.
We use capital letters to denote or represent a variable. In this lesson, we shall discuss
variables that are associated with probabilities, called random variables.
Suppose three cell 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.

 Deepening :Mathematical Journal
The random variable in the sample activity(defective cell phones) above is called
discrete random variable because the set of possible outcomes is COUNTABLE.
Suppose an experiment is conducted to deterimine the distance that a certain type of

car will travel using 10 liters gasoline over a prescribed test course. If distance is a
random variable, then we have infinite number of distances that cannot be equated to
the number of whole numbers. This is an example of a conitinuous random variable
A random variable is a discrete random if it set of possible outcomes is countable.

Mostly, discrete random variables represent count data, such as the number of defective

A random variable is continuous random variable if it takes on values on a continuous

scale. Often, continuous random variables represent measured data, such as heights,
weights and temperatures.

3. Add the results obtained in step 2
The value obtained in step 3 is called the mean of the random variable X or the mean
of the probability distribution of X. What does the mean tell us? The mean tells us
the average number of spots that would appear in roll of a die. So, the average
number of spots that would appear is 3.5 although the die will never show a number,
which is 3.5, this implies that rolling the die many times, the theoretical mean would be
3.5.
