Lesson 1: RANDOM VARIABLES

Time Frame: Week 2

Content Standard:
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of random variables and probability distribution
Performance Standard: The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-life problem
(such as in decision making and games of chance).
Learning Competencies:
The learner:
1. illustrates a random variable (discrete and continuous).;
2. distinguishes between a discrete and a continuous random variable.;
3. illustrates a probability distribution for a discrete random variable and its properties.;
4. calculates the mean and the variance of a discrete
5. random variable.

LESSON CONTENT

LESSON 1.5. THE BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

Introduction

Many experiments result in responses for which there are only two possible outcomes, such as either
’yes’ or ’no’, ’pass’ or ’fail’, ’good’ or ’defective’, ’male’ or ’female’, etc. A simple example is the toss
of a coin. Say, for example, that we toss the coin five times. In each toss, we will observe either a head,
H, or a tail, T. We might be interested in the probability distribution of X, the number of heads observed.
In this case, the possible values of X range from 0 to 5. It is scenarios like this that we will examine in
this lesson.
