Activity 6.2
Consider rolling a die. What is the average number of spots that would appear? The following activity will
help you answer this question.
Step1. Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X representing the number of spots that would
appear.
Step2. Multiply the value of random variable X by the corresponding probability.
Step3. Add the results obtained by step2.
Activity 6.3
Solve this problem and write reflections about the very nature of this problem in relation to your life ahead.

1. Roger’s furniture factory makes an 85 - pieces bookshelf set. Each piece is manufactured separately by
department, and sets containing the 85 pieces that make up the bookshelf are place in a box. Ronie,
quality controller of the factory has randomly sampled numerous bookshelves sets and found out a
number of damage pieces inside the package box. The result of the random sampling is recorded in the
table below showing a partially completed probability distribution for the random variable X. Where X is the
number of damaged pieces in a randomly selected bookshelf set from this factory.

a. Complete the table

X 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(x) 0.50 0.15 0.1 0.07 0.11 ?

b. Determine the probability when the damage is greater than two.

c. What is the probability that a randomly selected desk set contains four damaged pieces?
d. What is the probability that a randomly selected desk set contains less than 3 damaged pieces?
e. What is the probability that a randomly selected desk set contains 4 damaged pieces?
