MET # 2 Normal Probability Distribution

Lesson #2 Constructing Probability Distribution

Prerequisite Content-knowledge:

 Values of Random Variables

Prerequisite Skill:

 A good understanding in finding the values of random variables.

Prerequisites Assessment:

Pre-lesson Remediation Activity:

For Students with Insufficient Level on Prerequisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s): Provide reading materials and additional exercise and provide feedback on the pre-
assessment.
Tossing Three Coins
Suppose three coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the number of tails that occur. Find the values of the random variable Y. Complete the table below.

For Students with Fairly Sufficient Level on Prerequisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s): Conduct a short group discussion and exercise on the areas the students find difficult
and provide feedback on the pre-assessment.

Drawing Balls from an Urn

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.
Complete the table below.
Introduction:

In this lesson, the students will learn on how to construct a probability distribution. They will enable to decide accordingly by assigning probabilities to all possible
outcomes pertaining to the situation and then evaluating the results.

Student’s Experiential Learning:

Chunk 1: What is a probability distribution?

Lesson presentation (PPT, interactive discussion), videos and/or other platforms) on the discussion of probability distribution. Students can also download Statistics and Probability
Quexbook at Playstore using their smartphones. Situation: Suppose three coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the number of tails that occur.

Questions to ponder: Is it possible to find the probability of each of the values of the random variable Y?
Chunk 2: How do you construct a probability distribution?

Example

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.
Construct the probability distribution of the random variable Z.

Step 1:
Determine the sample space. Let B represent the blue ball and R
represent the red ball.
The sample space for this experiment is:
S = {RR, RB, BR, BB}

Step 2:
Count the number of blue balls in each outcome in the sample space and assign this number to this outcome.

Step 3:
There are three possible values of the random variable Z representing the number of blue balls. These are 0, 1, and 2. Assign probability values P(Z) to each value of the random
variable. The Probability Distribution or the Probability Mass Function of Discrete Random Variable Z
The Histogram for the Probability Distribution of the Discrete Random Variable Z

Synthesis
In this lesson, the students learned how to how to construct a probability distribution.

RUA of a Student’s Learning:

In this activity, the students can work individually, by pair, or as group of three members and make a decision in written form or video recording.
Suppose three cell phones are tested at random. Let D represent the defective cell phone and let N represent the non-defective cell phone. If we let X be the random variable for the
number of defective cell phones, construct the probability distribution of the random variable X. Draw the corresponding histogram for the probability distribution.
Post-lesson Remediation Activity:
The teacher will provide feedback on the outputs submitted by the students and conduct a tutorial session as the need arises. Then give, another similar activity to active or achieve
the target competencies and skills of the lesson. Construct the probability distribution for the random variables described in each of the following situations. Draw the
corresponding histogram for each probability distribution. Four coins are tossed. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of heads that occur. Find the values of the
random variable Z.
