The Statistics and Probability for Senior High School will help you
facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to
ease the independent learning.
Suppose you tossed three coins and you record the results of the toss. To
write the result easily, use letter H for the heads and letter T for the tails.
If the results of your toss are heads, tails, heads, then you will write HTH.
Count the number of heads that appeared and write it on a sheet of paper.
Then, record all the possible answers. Write all eight possible outcomes,
and then list down which one had zero (0), 1, 2, or 3 heads. Tally the results if
possible. Do the listing systematically in order to avoid confusion. Start with the
outcomes with zero (0) heads, then continue from there. In your listing, let X be
the number of heads.

The random variables in the preceding activity are called discrete random
variables because the set of possible outcomes is countable.
So, the distance travelled for 5L of gasoline are 80.65 km, 58.49 km, 65.79
km, 34.01 km and 58.14 km.
The random variables in the preceding activity are called continuous
random variables because the set of possible outcomes is not countable or it
does take on values that are whole numbers.
