I. OBJECTIVES:
1. Describe or illustrate the mean (and variance) of a discrete random variable.
(M11/12SP-IIIb-1)
2. Compute for the mean (and variance) of a discrete random variable.
(M11/12SP-IIIb-2)
3. Provide an interpretation of the mean (and variance) of a discrete random
variable. (M11/12SP-IIIb-3)
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
1. Topic: Mean and Variance of Discrete Random Variables
2. Reference: CG, TG, Statistics Books
3. Materials: Laptop, Projector

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Routine Activities
1.1 Prayer
1.2 Greetings
1.3 Checking of Attendance
1.4 Energizer

2. Review
- The teacher will review some important concept from the previous
chapter.
 Probability Distribution of discrete random variables
 Discrete random variables

3. Motivation/Presentation of Lesson
- Knowing the probability of winning in a game of chance.

B. Development of Lesson
1. Activity
- Tossing three coins ten times and record the number of heads on each toss.

2. Analysis
- What did you notice about the average of the number of heads?
- What did you notice about the range of values as the number of tosses
is increased?
- What did multiplying X and P(X) resembled?

3. Abstract/Generalization
- How will you define the mean and variance of a random variable?
- How will you compute and interpret the mean and variance of a random
variable?
 4. Application
1. Find the expected value, and variance of 𝑋, where 𝑋 represents the
outcome when a die is tossed. Interpret the results.
2. In a game of chance, a man is paid Ᵽ50 if he gets all heads or all tails
when 3 coins are tossed and he pays Ᵽ30 if either 1 or 2 heads show.
What is the expected gain? Interpret the results.

IV. EVALUATION:
1. Let 𝑋 be a random variable with the following probability distribution.

a. Find 𝐸(𝑋) and 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑋). Interpret the results.

2. Let 𝑋 be a random variable with the following probability distribution.

a. Find µ and 𝜎. Interpret the results.

b. Find 𝐸(𝑋 2 ) and 𝐸(3𝑋 2 + 2) and interpret the result.

3. ASSIGNMENT:
Derive the computational formula for variance of discrete random variable.
