    This document provides an outline for a statistics and probability course covering topics such as random variables and probability distributions, the normal distribution, sampling and sampling distributions, estimation of parameters, tests of hypotheses, and correlation and regression analysis. It defines discrete and continuous random variables and provides examples of each. Discrete random variables take whole number values from countable outcomes, while continuous random variables take non-integer values from experiments with infinitely many possible outcomes. The document includes an activity identifying random variables as discrete or continuous.

    WHAT IS RANDOM VARIABLE?

    • It refers to a quantitative variable that is derived from the


    outcomes of a random experiment.
    • Denoted by English capital letters X, Y, and Z.. The specific
    values of a random variable is denoted by small letters.
    EXAMPLES
    • Tossing a coin
    • Rolling dice
    • Drawn by lot
    • Spinner
    • Lotto
    TWO TYPES OF RANDOM VARIABLES

    Discrete Random Variable


    - is a random variable that can take only whole number
    values, outcomes that are countable.
    - this type of variable is associated with experiments for
    which there are finite number of possible outcomes.
    EXAMPLE

    • The number of children in a family.


    • The speed of a car.
    TWO TYPES OF RANDOM VARIABLES

    Continuous Random Variable


    - is a random variable that can take on non integers as
    they take on values contained in an interval.
    - this is associated for experiments with infinitely many
    possible outcomes, and is commonly used for measurements
    such as length, weight, and time
    EXAMPLE

    • Ten children were asked to solve the Rubik’s cube. The


    time took for them to complete the puzzle is
    summarized in the table below.
    Time <1 1–2 2–3 >3

    DETERMINE WHETHER DISCRETE OR
    CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLE.
    1. Choosing a prime number less than 200
    Ans: Discrete
    2. Tallying the number of households in a subdivision that have at least one
    vehicle
    Ans: Discrete
    3. Gathering information about the average monthly income of household.
    Ans: Continuous
    SEATWORK 3.1: DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS
    RANDOM VARIABLE
    Identify whether the given experiment involves a discrete random variable
    or a continuous random variable. Write D if discrete and C if continuous.
    _______1. Getting the distance traveled by a car.
    _______2. collecting data about the weights of students in a certain
    school.
    _______3. tossing a fair coin 5 times and the number of heads is counted.
    _______4. Picking a multiple of 4 less than 1,000,000.
    _______5. Checking the monthly expenses of a small business.
    _______6. Recording the number of turnovers committed by a basketball
    team during the games in a season.
    _______7. Tallying the number of gold medals won by the Philippines in
    different Olympic events.
    _______8. The temperature in Cebu at noon time.
    _______9. The number of phone calls taken by a call center agent in a
    week.
    _______10. Rubik's cube world record.
