4. Review present)
Since we have a new topic today, we should have
review first about statistics.

What comes to your mind if you hear the word

statistics?

Very good! How about the meaning of statistics? It’s all about numbers especially in survey.

Very good! Statistics is a branch mathematics that deals

with collection, classification, presentation,
B. Lesson Proper analysis and interpretation of data.
a. Motivation:
But before we proceed to our new lesson, let us have
first an activity, I need 10 volunteers. I have a box that
contains words/terms, I want each of you to pick from
 this box and group those words with the same meaning (Students will find the same meaning)
from your other classmates and after that you will
put/paste it on the blackboard. Finite Infinite
Limited Unlimited
Then, after you finish posting the words. I will flash Countable Uncountable
some pictures on the screen. You will identify it Walang Forever May Forever
whether it is finite or infinite. May Katapusan Walang Katapusan

about finite and infinite. Let us proceed now to our new
lesson.

b. Presentation of the Lesson

Our topic for today is all about Discrete and Continuous
Random Variables

c. Discussion

A random variable is a numerical quantity that is

generated by a random experiment.

A random variable can be discrete or continuous.

Kindly read the definition of Discrete.
Discrete Random Variables are variables
that can take on a finite number of distinct
values.
When we say Discrete Random Variable, it is a finite or a
countable number of possible outcomes that can be listed.

Please read the definition of Continuous.

Continuous Random Variables are
random variables that take an interminably
uncountable number of potential values,
When we say Continuous Random Variable, it is an regularly measurable amounts.
uncountable number of possible outcomes, represented by
the intervals on a number line.

Examples:

Discrete Random Variable

1. Number of heads in 4 flips of a coin

(possible outcomes are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4).

2. Number of classes missed from March 2020 to

December 2020.

3. The number of siblings a

person has.
Continuous Random Variables

1. Heights of students in class

2. Time to finish a module

Can you distinguish what kind of random variables is it?

1. The number of Covid-19 cases in Aklan in 2020.

1. Discrete Random Variable

2. Hours spent exercising.

2. Continuous Random Variable

3. The number of students involve in Online classes in

Aklan or Division during this pandemic time. 3. Discrete Random Variable
4. The height of tomato plants.
4. Continuous Random Variable

5. The time it takes for a car battery to die.

5. Continuous Random Variable

6. The types of book in the library.

6. Discrete Random Variable

7. The number of green M & M’s in a bag.

7. Discrete Random Variable

8. The length of time in someone’s life.

8. Discrete Random Variable
9. The weight of new born babies.
9. Continuous Random Variable

10. The number of books in the library.

10. Continuous Random Variable

Do you have any question class?

No, Sir.
C. Application: (Mathematical Intelligence,
Knowledge, and Process)

I will divide you into three groups and I will give

you freedom to choose whoever to be part of your group
either a boy or a girl. All you need to do is to
distinguish whether the statement/picture is Discrete or
Continuous. I will flash the statement/pictures on the
screen and write your answer on the illustration board.
And whose group got more correct or scores will be
declared as the winner and have prize after our class.

1. An experiment of tossing 5
coins repeatedly and counting Solution:
the number of heads that The random variable is the number of heads.
appears. It is countable. It can take the values as 0, 1,
2, 3, 4 and 5. So, the random variable is
discrete.

2. Finding the average number of

COVID - 19 patients of the
hospitals in the city for a month. Solution:
The random variable is the average number of
COVID - 19 patients. It takes values on a
continuous scale. So, the random variable is
continuous.
3. The lifespan of the battery of
our cell phones.
Solution:
The random variable is the lifespan of the
battery. Time takes values on a continuous
scale. So, the random variable is continuous.

4. The number of text messages sent

by a subscriber in a week.
Solution:
The random variable is the number of text
messages sent. It can take the values as 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5... So, the random variable is
discrete.

5. Brand Z is a company that

manufactures batteries.
They record the number of
defective batteries that are Solution:
contained in each box X is a discrete random variable, and X can be

number of defective
batteries per box, then what type of random variable
is X?

6. The number of no work no pay employees in

a certain municipality caused by pandemic.

Solution:
Discrete

7. The number of possible

outcomes in rolling a
die.

Solution:
Discrete

8. The amount of liquid in

a can of soft drinks.
 Solution:
Continuous

9. The number of fouls

committed by a basketball
team during the games.

Solution:
Discrete

10. The number of

people playing
LOTTO each
day.

Solution:
Discrete

Do you have question or clarification?

D. Generalization

 How do you determine the values of a random

variable?
 How do you know whether a random variable is No, Sir.
continuous or discrete?
 What is the difference between the two types of
random variables?
