Learning Activity Sheet (LAS)

Subject: Statistics and Probability

Topic: Random Variables

Grade Level: Senior High School

Learning Competencies
By the end of this activity, you should be able to:

1. Illustrate a random variable (discrete or continuous).

2. Distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables.

3. Identify the possible values of a random variable.

Instructions
1. Read the definitions and examples provided.

2. Complete the activities and questions using a separate sheet of paper.

3. Submit your answers as instructed by your teacher.

Lesson Overview
A random variable is a numerical value that represents the outcome of an experiment. It can
be:

- Discrete Random Variable: Values are countable (e.g., number of students).

- Continuous Random Variable: Values can take any value within a range (e.g., height of
students).

Activity 1: Identifying Random Variables


Determine if the following variables are Discrete or Continuous:

1. The number of books borrowed from the library.

2. The weight of apples in a basket.

3. The number of days in a year.

4. The time taken to complete a task.

5. The number of cars in a parking lot.


Activity 2: Finding Values of a Random Variable
Complete the following:

1. Two coins are tossed.


- Let H represent the number of heads.
- List the possible values of H.

2. A dice is rolled.
- Let X represent the number of dots on the top face.
- List the possible values of X.

3. Three balls are drawn from a basket containing 4 red and 2 white balls.
- Let R represent the number of red balls drawn.
- List the possible values of R.

Activity 3: Classifying Outcomes


For each experiment below, identify the sample space and classify the outcomes:

1. Tossing three coins.

2. Rolling a pair of dice and summing the dots.

Activity 4: Constructing a Probability Distribution


Scenario: Two dice are rolled. Let X represent the sum of the numbers rolled.

1. List all possible outcomes and their corresponding sums.

2. Construct a frequency table of X.

3. Compute the probabilities for each value of X.

4. Draw a probability histogram for the distribution.

Reflection Questions
1. What distinguishes a discrete random variable from a continuous one?

2. Why must the sum of probabilities in a probability distribution always equal 1?

Assessment Criteria
- Completeness of the sample spaces and tables.

- Accuracy of computed probabilities.

- Clarity in distinguishing discrete and continuous variables.
