LEARNING PLAN
OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson, with at least 75% proficiency, the students are expected to:
1. define the probability distribution of discrete random variable.
2. familiarize themselves with the steps of constructing probability distribution of
discrete random variable.
3. appreciate the importance of probability distribution of discrete random variable by
relating it to real life situations; and
4. construct probability distribution of discrete random variable.
PERFORMAN The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-life problem
CE (such as in
STANDARDS decision making and games of chance.

• What does “random” mean? We know all possible outcomes that can happen, but we
don’t know the outcome that will happen.
• Example: When we toss a fair coin, the possible outcomes are “head” and “tail” resp. i.e.
S = {H, T} Again if we toss a coin two times then the possible outcomes are S = {HH, HT,
TH, TT} And this continues…
• Now, we might decide to toss a coin 50 times and note that sample space contains 2^50
elements, each containing an order strings of “H” and “T” of length 50.
• Sample space increases and it becomes very difficult to calculate the desired probability.

Definition: Random variable is a single real valued function from a sample space S into
the real numbers.
• Now, from the above example: Suppose, we need to calculate “the probability of getting
heads” X = No of Heads in 50 tosses and then we calculate the desired probability.
• we can also define random variable like 1. No of tails in 50 tosses and so on.
• Sample space = S = {HHH, HHT, HTT, TTT, THH, TTH, HTH, THT}
