Constructing Probability Distribution Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan 7es
I.OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of constructing probability distributions.
B. Performance Standards The learners shall be able to construct probability distributions.
C. Learning Competencies Construct the probability mass function of a discrete random variable and its
corresponding histogram
D. Learning Objectives At the end of the discussion, students are able to:
1. illustrate probability distribution for a discrete random variable and its
properties;
2. compute probabilities corresponding to a given random variable; and
3. construct the probability mass function of a discrete random variable and its
corresponding histogram.

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preliminaries • Prayer
• Greetings
• Checking of Attendance
• Setting of Standards
B. Review “ENTRY PASS”
The class will be divided into eight (8) groups. Each group will be provided paper
strips containing the words “Discrete” and “Continuous” to answer the questions. All
they need to do is to classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous
by raising their paper strips. The instructor will give a signal "go" before they raise
their answer. The group who will raise their answer before the signal will be
disqualified. The group with the highest score will be the winner.
Answer:
1) Discrete
2) Continuous
3) Discrete
4) Continuous
5) Discrete
6) Continuous
7) Discrete
8) Continuous
9) Continuous
10) Discrete
C. Purpose ELICIT
The class will do another activity entitled "CLEAN UP THE MESS"
1
The instructor will scatter paper strips containing words. The instructor will let the
students pick the papers containing words and let them read it aloud.
What are the words scattered? Where can we associate these words?
D. Examples/ Instances of ENGAGE
new lesson “RAISE YOUR FLAGS”
The class will be divided into eight (8) groups. Each group will be provided black
construction paper, and chalk, to answer the questions and flaglets to raise if they
already know the answer. The first group to raise their flaglet will give a chance to
answer. If the given answer is wrong the other group will be given a chance to steal.
Answer:
1) Total number of outcomes =62 =36
Cases favorable to an even number are the sum
(1,1),(1,3),(1,5),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(3,1),(3,3),(3,5)(4,2),(4,4),(4,6),(5,1),(5,3),
(5,5),(6,2),(6,4),(6,6)
Number of cases= 18
Probability= ½
The teacher will ask "Based on the activities, can you tell what is our topic today?
(The teacher will now present the lesson objectives.)
E. Discussing new EXPLORE
concepts and practicing
new skills A video lesson will be presented.
The class will then have a group activity entitled "COUNTING POSSIBILITIES”
2
The class will group into three (3) groups. Each group have a table to investigate and
fulfill. The table contains Steps and Solution. All they need to do is to fill in the
answers in the table provided while following the steps. After answering the table,
each group must create a histogram for the distribution of the Discrete Random
Variable Z. The class will be given 10 minutes to answer the activity.
STEPS SOLUTION
1. Determine the sample The sample space for this experiment is:
space. Let H represent
head and T represent
tail.
2. Count the number of Value of the Random
Possible
heads in each outcome Variable Y
Outcomes
in the sample space (number of heads)
and assign this number
to this outcome
STEPS SOLUTION
3
1. Determine the sample The sample space for this experiment is:
space. Let B represent
blue and R represent red.
4
random variable Y X
representing the
number of heads.
Assign probability
values P(Y) to each
value of the random
variable.
4. Construct a histogram
for a probability
distribution, following
the steps.
a) Plot the values
of the random
variable along
the horizontal
axis.
b) Plot the
probabilities
along the
vertical axis
F. Developing Mastery EXPLAIN
Each group will choose a representative to discuss their answers in the class.
Outputs will be graded according to the rubric set by the teacher.
(After the student answering the question, the answers will flash in the screen)
Possible Answer:
Properties of a Probability Distribution
The probability of each value of the random variable must be between or
equal to 0 and 1. In symbol, we write it as 0≤ P( X )≤ 1.
The probability of each value of the random variable must be between or
equal to 0 and 1. In symbol, we write it as ∑ P( X )≤ 1.

Formative Assessment
The class will have an individual activity called “LET’S CONSTRUCT AND DRAW”
In a one whole sheet of paper, the students will answer the following problems.
Construct a probability for the data and draw the histogram of the distribution.
