conditions.
The set of all possible
outcomes of an experiment
is called the sample space.
You have also learned how
to systematically list the
possible outcomes of a
given experiment.
B. Lesson Proper

results you have in your
notebook.
b. Presentation
A variable is a
characteristic or attribute
that can assume different
values. In this lesson, we
shall discuss variables that
are associated with
probabilities, called
random variables.
Suppose in your
experiment you tossed
3coins. Let y be the
random variable
representing the number of
heads that occur. Find the
values of the random
variable Y.

results of your experiment.

Last meeting I told you to study
about the classificqtionw of
random variable. To test if you
really did your assignment, I'll
randomly select from your
classmates to give me the
classifications of random
variable.
1. Discrete Random Variable
2. Continuous Random Variable
Now, who can define the two?
DISCRETE RANDOM
VARIABLE - the set of possible
outcomes is countable. Mostly,
discrete random variables
represent count data, such as
the number of defective chairs
produced in a factory.
CONTINUOUS RANDOM
VARIABLE - it takes know values
on a continuous scale. Often,
represent measured data, such
probability of an event is very important in understanding
the present lesson. To find out if you are ready to learn this
new lesson, do the following activities:
For the given values of x, evaluate
sP(x).
1.
2. Getting a sum of
6 when two dice are
rolled
3. Getting a sum of
11 when two dice
are rolled
4. Getting an ace
when a card id
drawn from a deck
5. Getting a red
queen when a card
is drawn from a
deck.
EVENT (E) PROBABILITY P(E)
1. Getting an even number in
a single roll of a die
2. Getting a sum of 6 when
two dice are rolled
3. Getting a sum of 11 when
two dice are rolled

 element in the sample
space. It is a variable
whose values are
determined by chance.
Activity: two balls are
drawn in succession
without replacement from
an iron 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.
(SS=4, RR, RB, BR, BB)
SO, the possible values of
the random variable Z are
0,1, and 2.
d. Generalization
What is a sample space?
What is the formula in
getting the sample space?
What is a random variable?
III. EVALUATION
Four coins are tossed. Let
Z be the random variable
representing the number of
heads that occur. Find the
values of the random
variable Z.
as heights, weights, and
temperatures.
From the answer sheet that I
have given you, enumerate the
items that are discrete random
variable. (number of siblings,
age of mother, usual daily
allowance, usual daily
expenditure, number of text
messages or chat sent in a day.)
Continuous random variable
(weight., height)
Aside from the items in the
answer sheet, give me another
examples of discrete and
continuous random variable.
What are the two classifications
of random variable?
Define and differentiate the two
classifications of random
variable.
Give at least 3 examples of
discrete and random variable.
In a 1/4 sheet of paper, classify
the following random variables as
discrete or continuous.
 1. The number of defective chairs
in the room.
2. The weight new borns each
year in a hospital.
3. Speed of a car
4. number of patients arrivals in a
hospital.
5. the number of voters favouring
a candidate
6. the time needed to finish a
specific task
7. the number of people playing
LOTTO each day
8. amount of paint utilized in SHS
building.
9. amount of filling materials
needed for SHS building
10. amount of sugar in a cup of
coffee.
