occur, measured by the ratio
of the favorable cases to the
whole number of cases
possible.

A random variable is a variable whose value is a


numerical outcome of a random phenomenon. It is a
capacity that connects a real number with every
component in the sample space. It is a variable whose
qualities are controlled by chance. In this manner, a
random variable is a numerical amount that is derived
from the results of an arbitrary trial or experiment.

Grab two coins. Record the results of the toss. To write the
result easily, use letter H for the heads and T for the tails.
Construct a two-column table. Label column 1 as “Possible
Outcomes” and column 2 as “Number of Heads (X)”. In tossing
the coins, write the possible outcomes using the H and T
symbols. Then, count the number of heads and reflect it in
column 2. Under the table, write the “Possible Number of
Heads” which is the number of heads you reflected in column 2
disregarding the repeated numbers (counting it as one).

Suppose an experiment will be conducted to determine the distance


travelled of a certain type of car given 5L of gasoline over a
prescribed test course. Notice that if the distance is the random
variable, then we can get an infinite number of distances that cannot
be equated to the number of whole numbers. Assume that these are
the data you have gathered from the experiment, Mitsubishi Mirage –
80.65 km, Nissan Sentra – 58.49 km, Toyota Corolla – 65.79 km, Ford
Wagon – 34.01 km, and BMW Coupe – 58.14 km. Arrange the data in
a two-column table labelling column 1 as “Types of Car” and column
2 as “Distance Travelled for 5L Gasoline”.

random variable whose values
are countable or can be
expressed in whole number.
8. A continuous random variable
is a random variable whose
values are not countable or
does not take on values that are
whole numbers (with decimal
or fraction). 1717
