LP Chapter 2 Lesson 6 Mean and Variance of Random Variable

This document outlines a lesson plan on teaching the mean and variance of discrete random variables. The objectives are to describe, compute, and interpret the mean and variance. The lesson will begin with a review of probability distributions and then an activity tossing coins to observe averages. Students will then abstract the definitions of mean and variance and see applications like finding the expected value of dice. The evaluation has computational problems to find the mean, variance, and other values for given probability distributions.

2. Compute for the mean (and variance) of a discrete random variable.
(M11/12SP-IIIb-2)
3. Provide an interpretation of the mean (and variance) of a discrete random
variable. (M11/12SP-IIIb-3)
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
1. Topic: Mean and Variance of Discrete Random Variables
2. Reference: CG, TG, Statistics Books
3. Materials: Laptop, Projector

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Routine Activities
1.1 Prayer
1.2 Greetings
1.3 Checking of Attendance
1.4 Energizer

2. Review
- The teacher will review some important concept from the previous
chapter.
 Probability Distribution of discrete random variables
 Discrete random variables

3. Motivation/Presentation of Lesson
- Knowing the probability of winning in a game of chance.

B. Development of Lesson
1. Activity
- Tossing three coins ten times and record the number of heads on each toss.

2. Analysis
- What did you notice about the average of the number of heads?
- What did you notice about the range of values as the number of tosses
is increased?
- What did multiplying X and P(X) resembled?

3. Abstract/Generalization
- How will you define the mean and variance of a random variable?
- How will you compute and interpret the mean and variance of a random
variable?
4. Application
1. Find the expected value, and variance of 𝑋, where 𝑋 represents the
outcome when a die is tossed. Interpret the results.
2. In a game of chance, a man is paid Ᵽ50 if he gets all heads or all tails
when 3 coins are tossed and he pays Ᵽ30 if either 1 or 2 heads show.
What is the expected gain? Interpret the results.

IV. EVALUATION:
1. Let 𝑋 be a random variable with the following probability distribution.

a. Find 𝐸(𝑋) and 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑋). Interpret the results.

2. Let 𝑋 be a random variable with the following probability distribution.

a. Find µ and 𝜎. Interpret the results.


b. Find 𝐸(𝑋 2 ) and 𝐸(3𝑋 2 + 2) and interpret the result.

3. ASSIGNMENT:
Derive the computational formula for variance of discrete random variable.
