    III. KEY CONCEPT

    Mean of the Discrete Random Variable


    Covid-19 is continuously spreading around the world, that is why reports regarding
    average infected people per country is being updated every day. For this kind of report,
    experts used Statistics and Probability to show reliable analysis in their data. In this
    lesson, you will learn how to compute the average or mean of a discrete probability
    distribution as well as the variance and standard deviation of a discrete random variable.

    Consider the outcomes of a coin tossed as a random event. The probability of getting tail
    is 12 or 50%, and the probability of getting head is 12 or 50% also, but it is hard to predict
    the outcome that will occur. In this lesson, you will learn how to determine the likeliness
    of the happening of an event.

    1
    Example

    2
    3. The probabilities that a customer will buy 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 items in a grocery store
    are 3/10, 1/10, 1/10, 2/10, and 3/10, respectively. What is the average number of
    items that a customer will buy?

    To solve the above problem, we will follow 3 steps below.

    STEPS IN FINDING THE MEAN


    Step 1: Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X
    representing the number of items that the customer will buy.

    Step 2: Multiply the value of the random variable X by the corresponding


    probability.
    Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2. Results obtained is the mean
    of the probability distribution.

    Solution:

    So, the mean of the probability distribution is 3.1. This implies that the average
    number of items that the customer will buy is 3.1.
    Variance and Standard Deviation of the Discrete
    Random Variable

    3
    The variance and standard deviation describe the amount of spread, dispersion, or
    variability of the items in a distribution. How can we describe the spread or dispersion in
    a probability distribution? In this lesson, you will learn how to compute the variance and
    standard deviation of a discrete probability distribution.

    Now, let us find out how can we find the variance and standard deviation of a discrete
    probability distribution.

    Let’s have examples:

    1. The number of cars sold per day at a local car dealership, along with its corresponding
    probabilities, is shown in the succeeding table. Compute the variance and the standard
    deviation of the probability distribution by following the given steps. Write your answer
    in your answer sheets.
    4
    In solving the problem, let’s follow the steps below.

    STEPS IN FINDING THE VARIANCE AND STANDARD DEVIATION


    1. Find the mean of the probability distribution.
    2. Subtract the mean from each value of the random variable X.
    3. Square the result obtained in Step 2.
    4. Multiply the results obtained in Step 3 by the corresponding probability.
    5. Get the sum of the results obtained in Step 4. Results obtained is the value of the
    variance of probability distribution.

    Now let’s solve the problem.

    5
    To Solve for Standard Deviation:
    Get the square root of the variance
    σ2 = Σ(𝑥− μ)2p(x)
    = 1.56

    σ = √1.56
    = 1.25

    So, the variance of the number of cars sold per day is 1.56 and the standard deviation
    is 1.25.

    2. When three coins are tossed once, the probability distribution for the random
    variable X representing the number of heads that occur is given below. Compute the
    variance and standard deviation of the probability distribution.

    Solution:

    Follow the steps in finding variance and standard deviation of the probability
    distribution.

    6
    To solve for Standard Deviation
    σ2 = Σ(𝑥− μ)2p(x)
    = 0.74
    σ = √0.74
    = 0.86

    The mean in tossing 3 coins with probability of Head will show up is 0.86 and the
    variance is 0.74, then the standard deviation is 0.86.

    IV. ACTIVITIES

    Part 1: Determine the mean or expected value of each Random Variable. Write your
    answer in your answer sheets.

    4. Find the mean of the probability distribution of the random variable X, which can
    take only the values 1, 2, and 3, given that P(1) =10/33, P(2) = 1/3, and P(3) = 12/33.

    5. The probabilities of a machine manufacturing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 defective parts in


    one day are 0.75, 0.17, 0.04, 0.025, 0.01, and 0.005 respectively. Find the mean of the
    probability distribution.

    Part2: Determine the Variance and Standard Deviation of each random variable. Write
    your answer in your answer sheets.

    3. The number of items sold per day in a sari-sari store, with its corresponding
    probabilities, is shown in the table below. Find the variance and standard deviation of the
    probability distribution.

    Part 3: Answer the following questions in your own understanding.

    1. How to compute the mean of a discrete random variable? State the 3 steps. Write
    your answer in your answer sheets.
    2. How to find the variance and standard deviation of a discrete random variable? Write
    your answer in your answer sheets.

    V. ASSESSMENT

    Observe yourself in a day. Find out how many hours you spend in the following activities:
    house chores, answering Self Learning Modules, planting/gardening, using social media
    like Facebook, messenger, tiktok, Instagram, and YouTube, listening to music, watching
    television, and sleeping. Record your data. Construct a probability distribution, then
    compute the mean (μ), variance (σ2), and standard deviation (σ) of the probability
    distribution that you made.
