Discrete Random Variable:
Probability Distribution
Definitions
Random Variable – a variable whose
variables are determined by
chance.
Discrete Probability Distribution –
Consist of random variables and
probabilities of the values.
Requirements of a Probability
Distribution
1. All probabilities must between 0 and 1.
2. The sum of probabilities must add up to 1.
Example: Basic Concept of Probability
Review:
What is the probability of having two tails
in flipping a coin twice?
What is the probability of getting the
numbers 1 and 5 in rolling a die.
Example: Basic Concept of Probability
Review:
In a group of 40 people, 15 have high blood
pressure and 25 have high level of cholesterol,
what is the probability that a person that will be
randomly selected have
a) has high blood pressure (event A)?
b) has high level of cholesterol(event B)?

40cards consisting of 10 cards
numbered 1, 10 cards numbered
2, 15 cards numbered 3, and 5
cards numbered 4.

Mean, Variance and
Standard Deviation of
Discrete Random
Variable
Definition
Mean (μ) – average value
- Expectation of random variable or
E(X)
E(X) or μ
Variance (σ2) – measures of spread
Standard Deviation (σ) – square root of the
variance
- measure of spread
Formulas
Formula:
Mean: μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)]
Variance: σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x)
Standard Deviation: σ = σ2
Using the frequency distribution table of
example 1, solve for the mean.
Let the number of cards be x and probability of
the number of cards be p(x), then
Cards 1 2 3 4
Number of Cards (x) 10 10 15 5
Probability p(x) 0.25 0.25 0.375 0.125
Mean: μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)]
μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)]
Substitute the given.
μ = (10 x 0.25) + (10 x 0.25) + (15 x 0.375) + (5 x 0.125)
 Multiply
μ = 2.5 + 2.5 + 5.625 + 0.625
 Add
μ = 11.25
Using the frequency distribution table of
example 1, solve for the variance.
Variance: σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x)
σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x)
Substitute the given
= [(10 – 11.25) 2 (0.25)] + [(10 – 11.25) 2 (0.25)] +
[(15 – 11.25) 2 (0.375)] + [(5 – 11.25) 2 (0.125)]
Perform the operation
= 0.39 + 0.39 + 5.27 + 4.88
 Add
= 10.93
Using the frequency distribution table of
example 1, solve for the standard
deviation.
Standard Deviation: σ = σ2
σ = σ2
Substitute the given.
σ = 10.93
Get the root of the variance.
σ = 3.31

Discrete Random Variable (Probability Distribution)

  • 2. Definitions Random Variable – a variable whose variables are determined by chance. Discrete Probability Distribution – Consist of random variables and probabilities of the values.
  • 3. Requirements of a Probability Distribution 1. All probabilities must between 0 and 1. 2. The sum of probabilities must add up to 1.
  • 4. Example: Basic Concept of Probability Review: What is the probability of having two tails in flipping a coin twice? What is the probability of getting the numbers 1 and 5 in rolling a die.
  • 5. Example: Basic Concept of Probability Review: In a group of 40 people, 15 have high blood pressure and 25 have high level of cholesterol, what is the probability that a person that will be randomly selected have a) has high blood pressure (event A)? b) has high level of cholesterol(event B)?
  • 6. Example: Probability Distribution of Random Variable 1. Construct a probability distribution for drawing a card from a deck of 40cards consisting of 10 cards numbered 1, 10 cards numbered 2, 15 cards numbered 3, and 5 cards numbered 4.

  • 16. Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of Discrete Random Variable
  • 17. Definition Mean (μ) – average value - Expectation of random variable or E(X) E(X) or μ Variance (σ2) – measures of spread Standard Deviation (σ) – square root of the variance - measure of spread
  • 18. Formulas Formula: Mean: μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)] Variance: σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x) Standard Deviation: σ = σ2
  • 19. Using the frequency distribution table of example 1, solve for the mean.
  • 20. Let the number of cards be x and probability of the number of cards be p(x), then Cards 1 2 3 4 Number of Cards (x) 10 10 15 5 Probability p(x) 0.25 0.25 0.375 0.125
  • 21. Mean: μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)] μ = ∑ (x)[p(x)] Substitute the given. μ = (10 x 0.25) + (10 x 0.25) + (15 x 0.375) + (5 x 0.125)  Multiply μ = 2.5 + 2.5 + 5.625 + 0.625  Add μ = 11.25
  • 22. Using the frequency distribution table of example 1, solve for the variance.
  • 23. Variance: σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x) σ2 = ∑ (x – μ) 2 p(x) Substitute the given = [(10 – 11.25) 2 (0.25)] + [(10 – 11.25) 2 (0.25)] + [(15 – 11.25) 2 (0.375)] + [(5 – 11.25) 2 (0.125)] Perform the operation = 0.39 + 0.39 + 5.27 + 4.88  Add = 10.93
  • 24. Using the frequency distribution table of example 1, solve for the standard deviation.
  • 25. Standard Deviation: σ = σ2 σ = σ2 Substitute the given. σ = 10.93 Get the root of the variance. σ = 3.31
