ACTIVITY 1: Determine the value of the random variable in each of the following situation.
1. Two coins are tossed. Let the number of tails that occurs. Determine the values of the
random variable T.
When two coins are tossed, the sample space is
S=(H,H), (H,T), (T,H), (T,T)
Let H be the number of tails that occur. The random variable H take values of 0,1,2
H=0 when no tails occurs, when (H,T) or (T,H) occurs
P(H=1)=1/2
H=2, when only two tails occur. When (T,T) occur
P(H=2)=1/4

2. Three coins are tossed. Let H be the number of heads that occurs. Determine the values of
the random variable H.
[HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT]
There is only 1 outcome in which you get no tails (HHH) and there is 8 possible outcomes, so the
probability is 1/8.
What is the probability of Y=1?There are 3 outcomes in which you get only one tail (HHT, HTH,
THH) and there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability is 3/8.
what is the probability of Y=2?
3 outcomes in which you get two tails (HTT, THT, TTH) and there are 8 possible outcomes, so
the probability is 3/8.
What is the probability of Y=3?
There is only one outcome in which you get 3 tails (TTT) and there are 8 possible outcomes, so
the probability is 1/8.

per week. Assume that the standard deviation of the distribution is 2.5 pounds. Find the
probability that the mean of a sample of 55 families will be between 17 to 18 pounds.

The sample size is n = 55.

σ/√n =2.5/√55 = 3.0339

For the random variable x = 14 lb, with sample size = 55,

z = (x - μ)/(σ√ n) = (14 - 17.2)/3.0339 = -1.0547
From standard tables, P(x<14) = 0.1458

For the random variable x = 18 lb,

z = (18 - 17.2)/3.0339 = 0.2637
P(x<18) = 0.604
Therefore 
P(14 < x < 18) = 0.604 - 0.1458 = 0.4582

ACTIVITY 1
A company has tasked Mary, a researcher, to find out the proportion of the housewives who use a
particular brand of cooking oil. The company wants to know, with 95% confidence, the proportion
of households who like to use that cooking oil. A previous survey has shown what 42% like to use
cooking oil X. the study must be accurate to within 2% of the true proportion. What sample size
does Mary need

The mayor of a town wants to use the proportion of the population to determine the sample size he
needed to interview regarding plans about a new market building. He wants to be able to assert
with a probability 0.95 that his error will be at most 0.05. a survey in the past has shown 65%
approval. How large a sample does the mayor need?

Joshua wants to replicate a study where the lowest observed value is 12.4 while the highest. Is 12.8.
he wants to estimate the population means μ to within an error of 0.025 of its true value. Using 99%
confidence level, find the sample size n that he needs.
