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).
