 THE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION OF A
DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE
• A Discrete probability distribution is a
listing of all possible values of a discrete
random variable along with their
corresponding probabilities,
• It is represented in tabular,
graphical/Histogram or formula form.
Steps in getting the probability of each value
of the random variable:
1. Assign letters that will represent each outcome.
2. Determine the sample space (possible outcomes).
3. Count the number of the value of the random variable.
4. Given the total possible values of the random variable,
assign probability values to each value of the random
variable.
Examples 1.

Supposed three coins are tossed. Let X be

the random variable representing the
number of heads. Construct the
probability distribution and draw the
histogram.
Examples 2.

Two fair dice are thrown simultaneously. Let

X be the sum of the two outcomes in throwing
the two fair dice. Construct the discrete
probability distribution. Draw the Histogram.

outcomes in throwing the two fair dice. Construct the discrete probability
distribution. Draw the Histogram.
ACTIVITY 2.

Supposed five coins are tossed. Let X be

the random variable representing the
number of tails. Construct the probability
distribution and draw the histogram.
