LESSON PLAN IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS – GRADE 11

Content: Random Variables and Probability Distributions

CS: The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of random variables and
probability distributions.

PS: The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-life problem
(such as in decision making and names of chance).

MELC: Finds the possible values of a random variable. (M11/12SP-IIIa-3)

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
 Identify the sample space of an experiment,
 Discuss the concepts random variable
 Find the possible values of a random variable.

III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of Attendance
 Seating Arrangement of Learners based on Individual Needs & Capability
 Giving of House rules prescribed in the New Normal Delivery of Limited
Face to Face Classes
 Review
 Random variable is a variable whose value is dependent to the
outcome of a well-defined random event or experiment (such as
throwing a pair of dice or drawing a card from a standard deck).

 Every time the learner recites, participates and give the correct answers,
he or she will be acknowledged and given points
 The teacher will use a name picker app to give chance to all learners to
share their ideas and give answers.

B. Lesson Proper
 Motivation
Have you been to an arcade?
What games do you usually play?
In every game you play what results do you get?
 Activity
Material: Coin
Direction: The learner will Toss a coin twice and will record their results in a
sheet of paper.

 Analysis
What are your results?
In your 2nd try, did you get the same result?
If you don’t get the same result? What result did you get?
What are the possible results when you toss a coin?
What do you think is our topic for today?

 Abstraction
A random variable is a variable whose value is unknown or a function that
assigns values to each of an experiment's outcomes. Random variables are
often designated by letters and can be classified as discrete, which are
variables that have specific values, or continuous, which are variables that
can have any values within a continuous range. (Kenton,W; 2022)
 Outcome – it is the result of the experiment.
 Sample Space – the result of all possible outcomes in an
experiment.
To determine the values of the random variable in an
experiment, follow these steps.
1. List the sample space of the experiment.
2. Count the number of the random variable in each
outcome and assign this number to this outcome.

Example 1: “Spinning a Coin”

Get a coin and spin once. Determine the number of heads that
will come out. Let H be the number of heads.
Step 1: List the sample space of the experiment
S= {T , H}
Step 2: Count the number of heads in each outcome and
assign this number to this outcome.

Outcome # of Heads

H 1

T 0

The value of the random variable H (number of heads in this

experiment) are 0 and 1.

Example 2: “Tossing two Coins”

 Let T be the number of tails. Determine the values of the
random variable T.
Step 1: List the sample space of the experiment
S= {TT,TH,HT,HH}
Step 2: Count the number of heads in each outcome and
assign this number to this outcome.

Outcome # of Heads

TT 2

TH 1

HT 1

HH 0

The value of the random variable T (number of tails in this

experiment ) are 0, 1, and 2.

 Application
1. Throw a die. Determine the values of random variable 4.
2. A box contains 4 green and 2 blue dice. Three dice are chosen
one after the other. Determine the values of the random variable
G representing the number of green dice.
 Generalization
Direction: Discuss the concepts of random variables. You can choose
on the list below on how you will discuss it.
a. Drawing
b. Paragraph (4-5 sentences)

IV. Evaluation
Jose has a basket containing 10 ripe mangoes and 4 unripe mangoes. If Jose
takes three mangoes from the basket one after the other, determine the possible
values of the random variable R representing the number of ripe mangoes that
Jose will get.

V. Assignment
Let x be the number of boys in a family of four children. Determine the values of
the random variable x.
