Problem 2:
The table shows the number of computers sold per day at a local computer store
along with its corresponding probabilities. Find the mean and variance of the
distribution.

The teacher discusses the concept of the mean and variance of a discrete random
variable.
1. What are the steps in solving the mean and variance of a probability
distribution of a random variable?
2. How it is similar to the procedure in solving the mean and variance of a

distribution and that of a frequency distribution.
4. How do you interpret the mean and variance of a probability
distribution?
5. Which formula is easier to use in finding the mean and variance of
probability distribution?

G. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
H. Making generalizations The key points in solving problems for the mean and variance of a probability
and abstractions about distribution is to make use of the formula for the mean which is μ=ΣX.P(x) and for
the lesson the variance σ²=Σx².P(x)-μ².
The teacher lets the students individually answer the formative assessment.
