LESSON PLAN IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS – GRADE 11

CONTENT: RANDOM VARIABLE and PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

CONTENT STANDARD: The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of normal
Probability distribution.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learner is able to accurately formulate and solve real-life
problems in different disciplines.
LEARNING COMPETENCIES: Illustrates the mean and variance of a discrete random
variable. (M1112SP-IIIb-1-2)

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. illustrates the mean and variance of a discrete random variable; and
b. Solve the mean and variance of a discrete random variable.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

A. Session Title/Topic: RANDOM VARIABLE and PROBABILITY
DISTRIBUTION

normal probability distribution.
C. Performance Standard: The learner is able to accurately formulate and solve real-life
problems in different disciplines.
D. Instructional Materials: LCD projector, lapel, laser pointer / PowerPoint presenter,
manila paper, white board marker, colored papers.

III. PROCEDURE/STRATEGIES:
A. Preliminary Activities:
 Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
 Setting the house rules
 Checking Assignment

B. Motivation:
 The teacher will be reviewing the previous lesson discrete and continuous random
variables.
 The teacher will show types of random variables in a projector and let the students
identify if it is discrete or continuous variable.
 Use the previous example in computing the mean and variance.
C. Presentation of the lesson proper:
 (I Do It) The mean, or expected value, of a discrete random variable is

 The variance of a discrete random variable x is

Compute the variance and standard deviation of the following probability distribution
which represents the number of DVDs a person rents from a video store during a single
visit.

The variance=(0-1.49)^2*0.06+(1-1.49)^2*0.58
+(2-1.49)^2*0.22+(3-1.49)^2*0.1
+(4-1.49)^2*0.03+(5-1.49)^2*0.01
=0.8699

Mean=0*0.06+1*0.58+2*0.22+3*
0.1+4*0.03+5*0.01
= 1.49
The teacher will explain the step by step in solving the mean and variance of random
variables.

 (We Do It) Think-Pair-Share

The learners will look for a partner and they will answer the given problem then they
going to exchange partner again and discuss if they got the correct answer after that they
are going to share their work to the class.

Statistics test scores on Random Variables are described by the following probability
distribution.

Score 40 50 60 70 80
P(Score) .1 .2 .3 .3 .1

A) Determine the mean and variance of the scores.

 (you do it)

The number of suits sold per day at Suit World is shown in the probability distribution
below.

X 19 20 21 22 23
P(X) 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1
Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the distribution.
IV. Application/Assessment: ½ lengthwise

1. The Bank of America VP feels that each savings account customer has, on average, three credit
cards. The following distribution represents the number of credit cards people own.

X 0 1 2 3 4
P(X) 0.18 0.44 0.27 0.08 0.03
a. Find the mean, and variance.
