Learning Activity Sheets: Quarter 3, Week 3 and 4

1) The document defines and provides examples of random variables. A random variable assigns a numerical value to each possible outcome of a random experiment or phenomenon. 2) It gives the example of tossing three coins and assigning the number of heads as the random variable, which can take on values of 0, 1, 2, or 3 heads. 3) Another example illustrates using the number of face cards drawn from a deck of cards as the random variable.

Random Variable

I. Concept Notes
In your basic probability class before, you already discussed the following terms:
experiments/events, outcomes, sample, and sample spaces.

Experiments are any movement or activity which can be dome repeatedly under similar or
comparative condition. The outcomes are the result of a given experiment while the sample space
is the set of all possible outcomes of an
experiment.

Let us have an example to illustrate this: rolling a die (dice) is an example of experiment.
Upon rolling the die, it is expected that it will show a dot on the top which are either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
or 6, these are what we call the sample space of the given experiment. If you are only interested
on a given value of dots, let say, three dots, then “3” is what we call the outcome or the sample.

In this module, we are looking for a number that will be assigned for the result of an
experiment.

If there are 4 coins instead of three coins tossed, what number or value can be assigned for
the frequency of heads that will occur? If three cards are drawn from a deck of card, what number
can be assigned for the frequency of face cards that will occur? The answer to these questions
requires a knowledge of random variable.

Recall also that a variable is a characteristic or attribute that can assume different values
(e.g. in algebra, variables like x can be any number). We are going to use capital letter (X, Y, Z,
and others) to denote or represent a variable. Let us examine the examples below to know more
about Random Variable.

Example 1: TOSSING THREE COINS


Suppose you have three coins. We want to find the number of heads that will occur after
tossing the coins.
On the given experiment, there are 8 sample spaces and since we are interested
to the number of heads (H) in each of the possible outcomes, which in this case are
0, 1, 2, and 3. These are what we call the RANDOM VARIABLE.
A random variable 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.
Here is another example to illustrate random variable.
