    Study Notes

    Learning Competencies and Objectives

    • Learners should be able to illustrate a random variable (discrete and continuous). (M11/12SP-IIIa-1)
    • Define a random variable.
    • Represent real-life situations using random variables.
    • Determine the possible values of a random variable.
    • Differentiate a random variable from an algebraic variable.
    • Identify real-life situations that can be represented by random variables.

    Prerequisite Skills and Topics

    • Finding the outcomes of a random experiment
    • Determining the sample space of a random experiment
    • Simple Events
    • Experiments, Events, Sample Space, and Outcomes
    • Determining Outcomes of an Experiment
    • Using Tables and Tree Diagrams
    • Fundamental Counting Principle
    • Factorial Notation
    • Permutation

    Lesson Proper (Introduction)

    • Warm-up Activity 1 (OOTD!): This activity helps students recall listing elements of a sample space using the Fundamental Counting Principle.
      • Duration: 10 minutes
      • Materials: Pen, paper
      • Methodology:
        • Present a problem involving possible outfits (pants, shirts, sunglasses).
        • Have students write down all possible combinations.
    • Activity 2 (Pass the Task!): This activity helps students list elements of a sample space for a random experiment.
      • Duration: 10 minutes
      • Materials: Pen, paper
      • Methodology:
        • Divide class into groups.
        • Assign tasks (tossing a coin, rolling a die, picking numbers, genders of triplets).
        • Groups work individually then swap tasks, repeating until all tasks are addressed.

    Lesson Proper (Discussion)

    • Random Experiment: An experiment that can be repeated numerous times under the same conditions; results are independent of one another (e.g., tossing a coin).
    • Outcome: The result of a random experiment (e.g., heads or tails).
    • Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment, denoted by a capital letter, usually S.
    • Random Variable: A function that assigns a numerical value to every outcome of a random experiment; typically represented by a capital letter, usually X.
      • The domain is the sample space.
      • The range is a set of real numbers. (e.g., the number of heads that appear when tossing a coin; possible values range from 0 to 1).

    Examples of Random Variables

    • Example 1: The number of males in a class of 30 students. Possible values of M range from 0 to 30.
    • Example 2: The number of boys in a set of twin births. Possible values are 0, 1, or 2.
    • Example 3: A six-sided die is rolled twice. Y represents the number of even numbers rolled. Possible values of Y are 0, 1, or 2.
    • Example 4: A technician chooses three chips at random from four chips. Z represents the number of non-defective chips chosen, given the first chip is defective. Possible values of Z are 1 and 2.
    • Example 5: A bowl has three red and two blue marbles. Two are drawn. Y represents the number of blue marbles drawn, given the first marble drawn is red. Possible values of Y are 0 or 1.

    Practice and Feedback

    • Students practice answering problem items individually using pen and paper.
    • Call a random student to display work. Discuss solution process.
    • Provide feedback to address misconceptions and guide students toward correct solutions.

    Group Practice

    • Students form groups (2-5 students) to solve problems 4 and 5.
    • Give ample time to analyze and develop group solutions.
    • Have a representative display solution, followed by a discussion on the steps, and addressing any errors and misconceptions.

    Worksheets

    • Worksheets are provided to assess student learning (beginner, average, advanced level).

    Synthesis

    • Review key concepts (random variable, sample spaces, and outcomes).
