IV. PROCEDURES:

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting of new lesson

 Review
The students will recall the basic concepts of probability. To strengthen, the students will
answer basic ideas in order to understand the concept of random variable. The students
will find out on how to get sample outcomes and sample space of simple events.
Sample Outcome – The result of an experiment.
Event – Any designated set of sample outcomes.
Sample Space - The totality of sample outcomes.

 Experiment 1 “Flipping a coin twice”.

a. What are the sample outcomes of this experiment?
b. How many tails appeared in an experiment? Heads appeared?
c. What is the sample space?

 Experiment 2 “Getting 2 defective or non-defective items”.

a. What are the sample outcomes of this experiment?
b. How many defective items appeared in an experiment? Non-defective items?
c. What is the sample space?

 Experiment 3 “Drawing 2 balls from an urn that consists of 5 red and 7 blue balls”.
a. What are the sample outcomes of this experiment?
b. How many red balls appeared in an experiment? Blue balls appeared?
c. What is the sample space?

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

 Questions
a. How did you find the sample outcomes?
b. How did you determine the number of tails appeared, defective items appeared,
red balls appeared, and etc.?
c. What help you to identify the number of sample space?

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills

Random Variable – set of all sample outcomes.
 Experiment 1. “Tossing a coin twice. Let X be the number of Tails”

Step 1. Determine the sample outcomes. Let T be Tail and H be Head.

Step 2. Count the number of tail in each outcome.

 Experiment 2. “Getting 2 defective or non-defective items. Let D be defective

item”.

Step 1. Determine the sample outcomes. Let B be Boys and G be Girls.

Step 2. Count the number of tail in each outcome.

 Discrete Random Variable – Finite or infinite set of sample outcomes but can be
represented as whole numbers.

 Examples: Number of defective chairs.

Scores of students in a 50-item test
Gender

Continuous Random Variable – Infinite set of sample outcomes but CAN’T be

represented as whole numbers.

 Examples: Height, weight, temperature, distance, or life periods

E. Developing Mastery
Seatwork: Group work of 5 students.
Belecina, et. al (2017), Statistics and Probability pp. 4-8

ACTIVITY 1. Tossing Three Coins

Suppose three coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the number
of tails that occur. Find the values of the random variable Y. Complete the table.

ACTIVITY 2. Getting Defective and Non-defective items

A shipment of five computers contains two that are slightly defective. If a retailer
receives three of these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S
using the letters D and N for defective and non-defective computers, respectively. To each
sample point assign a value x of the random variable X representing the number of
computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly defective.
