A
It is called the letter in
mathematics
 Random Variables
A variable whose possible
values are determined by
chance. It is usually denoted
as capital letter X.
a:
• Tossing a coin three
times
• Rolling a die twice
• Drawn two balls in a box
 Example 1:
Suppose two coins are tossed.
Let X be the random variables
representing the number of
heads that occur. Find the
values of the random variable X.
 Example 2:
Suppose three coins are tossed.
Let Y be the random variables
representing the number of tails
that occur. Find the values of
the random variable Y.
 Example 3:
Two balls are drawn in succession
without replacement from a box
containing 5 red balls and 6 blue
balls. Let Z be the random
variable representing the number
of blue balls. Find the values of
the random variable Z.
 Example 4:
Write all the possible values of each
variable.
a) Number of even number outcomes
in a roll of a die.
b) Number of odd number outcomes
in a roll of a die.
Types of Random Variable

a. DISCRETE VARIABLES
- It is a random sample that
can assume only a countable
number of values.
DISCRETE VARIABLES
Examples:
 The number of cars sold by a car
dealer in one month.
 The number of students who are
protesting who were protesting the
tuition increase this semester.
Types of Random Variable
b. CONTINUOUS VARIABLES
- It is a random sample that
can assume only a countless
number of values.
CONTINUOUS VARIABLES
Examples:
 The length of time it takes a truck
driver to go from house to his work.
 The amount of water you drink in a
day.
 The weight of the a child
 Activity
a. Suppose three coins are tossed. Let X be the random
variables representing the number of heads that occur.
Find the values of the random variable X.

b. Identify if it is continuous or discrete

1. The number of female who get married
2. Weight of the rice did the family ate a day.
3. The depth of drilling to find oil
4. Number of applicants who have applied for vacant
position.
5. The weight of the truck
