(establishing a purpose for the
lesson) To start our session, let’s have an activity entitled LIKE and DISLIKE.

Directions: Identify whether the given situation is countable of measurable. You will show the LIKE symbol by using
your fingers if it is countable and UNLIKE symbol if it is measurable.

1. Number of notebooks in the bag

2. Amount of salt needed to cook adobo
3. Number of students who got an average grade of 85 and above.
4. The weight of a watermelon
5. Length of a projector screen

Let us now read the following learnig objectives projected in the screen.
1. Differentiate discrete and continuous random variables.
2. Cite examples of discrete and random variables that can be found in real-life.

So our lesson for today is “Discrete and Continuous Random Variable”.
Guide Questions:
1. What were your basis in identifying countable variables?
2. What were your basis in identifying measurable variables?
Discrete and Continuous Random Variable
Our life has been a series of chances, do you agree?
Let’s talk about chances, who among of you have tried lottery pads and prizes?
How about playing bingo?
How about buying lottery tickets?
Those are some of the games that deals with chances. And when we talk of chances, we are dealing with probability.
And in probability when wedo an activity that is repeatedly done under a similar condition, we are doing an
experiment.

Let’s have an experiment. I will group you into 3 groups. Each group will have to perform each activity written on the
activity sheet for 5 minutes. After which, each group will assign a member to present your answer.

Group 1:

Activity 1: Tossing a Coin

Question:

1.In how many ways can a coin fall?

Activity 2: Tossing two coins

Question: In how many ways can we get a head intossing 2 coins?

Group 2

Activity 1: Rolling a die

Question:

1. In how many ways can a die fall?

2. What is the probability of getting a number below 5 when rolling a die?

Group 3:

Activity: Choosing a card from a standard deck of cards

Questions:

1.In how many ways can we choose a heartcards from a deck of cards?

2.What is the probability of getting number 2 from a standard deck of cards?

Silently go to your group and start your task.

Your time starts now!(After 5 mins)

Time is up!(Group presentation)

(AFTER THE PRESENTATION)-I can see you still remember your statistics lesson in junior high school. Let us all give
ourselves WowClap.How did you find the activity? Those activities that you have done are examples ofrandom
variables. Random Variable is a result of chance event that you can measure or count. It is also numerical quantity that
is derived from the outcomes of a random experiment. Examples of random variable are tossing a coin,number of
items sold in grocery store, number ofcustomers in a milktea shop and height of certainspecies of plants. (students
raise hands)(Group presentation)(students will share their experience).

Discrete and random variables are fundamental concepts in the field of probability and statistics, and they play a crucial
role in modeling and analyzing various phenomena. Let's explore these concepts in more detail and discuss their
differences and applications.

Discrete Variables:

A discrete variable is a type of random variable that can only take on specific, distinct values. These values are typically
countable and finite or countably infinite. For example, the number of students in a classroom, the number of cars in a
parking lot, or the outcomes of rolling a six-sided die are all examples of discrete variables.

Key characteristics of discrete variables include:

1. Countable Values: Discrete variables can only assume certain values, often integers. You can list or count all the
possible values of a discrete variable.

2. Non-Negative: Discrete variables are typically non-negative; they cannot have negative values.

Continuous Random Variables

A continuous random variable is a concept in probability and statistics that describes a variable whose possible values
 can take on any real number within a certain range. This is in contrast to a discrete random variable, which can only
assume a finite or countable number of distinct values. Continuous random variables are often used to model real-
world phenomena where outcomes can vary continuously, such as measurements, time intervals, and physical
characteristics.

Here are some key characteristics and concepts associated with continuous random variables:

1. Measurable: Continuous random variables are random variables variables where the observed numerical values are
results of measuring and may take on any numbers contained within any numerical intervals.

2. Probability Density Function (PDF): A continuous random variable is described by its probability density function
(PDF). The PDF represents the likelihood of the random variable taking on a specific value. It is a function that assigns
probabilities to intervals on the real number line rather than to individual values.

3. Probability Distribution: The probability distribution of a continuous random variable is defined over an interval or
range of values. Unlike discrete random variables, there is no probability associated with individual points, but rather
with intervals.

Examples of Continuous Random Variables: Continuous random variables are commonly used in various fields, such as
physics, engineering, and economics. Some examples include: Height of individuals, temperature, time it takes for an
event to occur, stock prices and he length of a river.

In summary, discrete and random variables are fundamental concepts in probability and statistics. Discrete variables
have distinct, countable values, while countinuous random variables essential for a wide range of statistical and
probabilistic applications.
