MEAN OF DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

FORMULA:
MEAN OF DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
STEP
S:
1. Construct the probability distribution for the random variable
X
representing the number of spot that would appear .
2. Multiply the value of the random variable x by its
corresponding
probability.
3. Compute the mean by applying the
formula.
EXAMPLE 1: Suppose three coins are tossed. Let X be the random
variable representing the number of heads that occur. Find the
probability of each of the values of the random variable X and the
mean.
STEP 1: Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X representing
the number of spot that would appear.
Sample space = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTT, TTH,
Possible Outcome HHHTHT,

STEP 3: Compute the mean by applying the


formula.
EXAMPLE 2: The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 4, 5, 6,
7, or 8 patients in any day are 0.15, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30,
respectively. Find the average number of patients that a surgeon
operates on a day.

STEP 3: Compute the mean by applying the
formula.
EXAMPLE 3: Let X be the number of cakes sold in a certain store
during valentine’s day, along with its corresponding probabilities
is given in the table below. Solve the mean of X.
Number of cakes sold 10 15 20 25 30 35
(X)
Probability P(X) 0.05 0.10 0.24 0.35 0.14 0.12
STEP 2: Multiply the value of the random variable x by its corresponding
probability.

Probability P(X) 0.05 0.10 0.24 0.35 0.14 0.12


STEP 3: Compute the mean by applying the
formula.
EXAMPLE 4: A sari- sari store that sells bubble gums recorded
how many bags of gum it sold per customer. This record was
used to create a probability distribution of the number of bags of
gum sold per customer. Using the data below, determine the
mean. Number of bags sold per customer Probability P(X)

Solve the following problem. (5 points each)
1. Suppose two coins are tossed. Let t be the random variable
representing the number of tails that occur. Find the probability of
each of the values of the random variable X and the mean.
2. Let X be the number of children in a certain family and their
corresponding probabilities. Compute for the expected value.
