C. Lesson Proper

(Presentation of objective)
Identify if the given random variable is discrete and continuous.
D. Activity

The teacher will ask the students if they familiar with the “Pass the Ball” game, let the
students choose a letter from A to H and give 10 seconds to understand and analyze the answer
from the phrase, then give brief explanations.

The teacher will present a music using a PowerPoint presentation.

Direction:
When the music will starts, pass the ball and when the music stop whoever is holding the
ball he/she will stand up and will choose a letter from A to H.

The different phrases:

a. Rolling Die
b. Drawing Cards
c. Number of children born into a family
d. Number of heads in tossing 2 coins thrice.
e. Wages of workers in factory
f. Height of students in a university
g. The life length in hours of a certain bulb.
h. Age of a person

E. Analysis

Using the PowerPoint presentation the teacher will ask some questions based from the
activity and let the students volunteer to answer the given questions.

 How did you find the activity?

 Do you think that you have the correct understanding of the given phrase? How so?
 Are you familiar with random variables?
 Are these phrases random variables?

F. Abstraction

The teacher will continue and present the definition of a discrete and a continuous
random variables.

A discrete random variable is that can be counted, and these data assume only fixed
number of distinct values (a finite or infinitely) countable number of values.

A continuous random variables are those that can be measured, and possible values are
uncountable infinite.

The teacher will present a sample chart using a PowerPoint presentation and let the
students to classify each phrases on the board according to its types of variable.
 a sample chart:

G. Application
The teacher will divide the class into two groups and the group will choose an envelope,
inside in envelop there is a task to perform a discrete and a continuous random variables.

Group 1
 Do the action of some activities for discrete and continuous random variables.

 Do discrete by using Coin and Die

 Do the continuous by using tip measure
Note: Identify the differences based from the activities.
Group 2

 In the Venn diagram give a differences and similarities from discrete and continuous
random variables.

H. Generalization
The teacher will ask the students to complete the following sentences.
h1. I learned that ____________________________________
h2. I realized that ____________________________________
IV. Evaluation

Direction:
Identify whether the given random variables is discrete or continuous.

1. Time (in hours) consumed on Facebook on a particular day

2. Number of children in a household
3. Usual number of text messages sent in a day
4. Body temperature
