Lesson 2: Possible Values of Random
What is it…
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 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 one defective cell phone, we assign the number
1; if there are two defective cell phone, we assign the number 2; and 3, if there are
three defective cell phone. The number of defective cell phones is a random
variable. The possible values of this random variables are 0, 1, 2 and 3.
Illustration:
Let D represent the defective cell phone and N represent the non-defective cell
phone. If X be the random variable representing the number of defective cell phones,
show the values of the random variable X. The table should look like this.

Histogram
Construct a histogram for this probability distribution. A histogram is a bar
graph. To construct a histogram for a probability distribution, follow these steps.
Plot the values of the random variable along the horizontal axis.
Plot the probabilities along the vertical axis.
In plotting the probabilities along the vertical axis, you can change fractions to
decimals (ex. 1 8 = 0.125, 1 4 = 0.25 and 1 2= 0.5)
