Objective: Compute probabilities corresponding to a given random variable.
Lesson/Topic: Computing Probability Corresponding to a Given Random Variable
Semester. 2nd Week No. 2 Day: 1

Activity 1: Compute me

Directions: Perform the task below.

1. The number of cellphones sold per day at Gadgets Zone has the following probability
distribution.

Number of cellphones sold X Probability P(X)

0 0.15
1 0.10
2 0.25
3 0.30
4 0.20

Find:

1. P(X≥ 2)

2. P(2) + P(4)

2. The monthly absences of a student based on his class adviser’s record are presented in
the probability distribution below.

X 0 1 2 3 4
P(X) 1 3 3 1 1
10 10 10 10 5

a. What is the probability that the number of absences is less than 3?

b. What is the probability that the number of absences is at least 2?
c. What is the probability that the number of absences is greater than 1 but less than 4?
