Mean of a Discrete Random
Variable
The mean of a discrete random variable or the
mean of the probability distribution is the
central value or average of its corresponding
probability mass function. It is also called as the

µ = ∑ 𝑋∙𝑃(𝑥)
Expected Value. It is computed using the formula:

Where X is the outcome and P(X) is the


probability of the outcome.
Example:
1. Find the mean of the random variable Y representing the number of
red color chocolates per 160-gram pack of colored chocolate
packages that has the following probability distribution.

Y 4 5 6 7

µ = ∑ ⟮𝑋𝑃(𝑥)⟯
Solution: P(Y) 0.10 0.37 0.33 0.20

= ∑ ⟮4(0.10) + 5(0.37) + 6(0.33) + 7(0.20)⟯


= ∑ ⟮0.40 + 1.85 + 1.98 + 1.40⟯
µ = 5.63
So, the mean of the probability distribution is 5.63. This implies that
the average number of red chocolates per 160-gram is 5.63.
Example:
2. The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 patients
in any day are 0.15, 0.10. 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 respectively. Find the
average number of patients that a surgeon operates on a day.
Solution:
Step 1. Construct the probability distribution for the random variable
X representing the number of spots that would appear.
Example:
Step 2. Multiply the value of the random variable X by the
corresponding probability.
Example:
Step 3. Add the results obtained in Step 2.
Example:
Step 3. Add the results obtained in Step 2.

The mean tells us that the average number of patient that a surgeon
will operate in a day is 5.45. (Approximately 6)

of a discrete random variable.
2.Interpret the variance of a discrete
random variable.
3.Solve problems involving variance of
probability distribution.

Probability Distribution
EXAMPLE
1. The number of items sold per day at a
retail store, with its corresponding
probabilities, is shown in the table. Find the
variance and standard deviation of the
probability distribution.
EXAMPLE
Step 1: Find the mean of the
probability Distribution using the
formula.
EXAMPLE
Step 2: Subtract the mean from each
value of the random variable X.
EXAMPLE
Step 3: Square the results obtained in
step 2.
EXAMPLE
Step 4: Multiply the results obtained in
Step 3 by the corresponding
probability.
EXAMPLE
Step 5: Get the sum of the results
obtained in step 4 to get the variance
and square root the value of the
variance to get the standard deviation.
NOTE!
*Small Variance or Standard Deviation means that the
assumed values or data points tend to be very close to
the mean.
• Higher Variance or Standard Deviation means that
the assumed values or data points are spread out
from the mean.
• The Variance or Standard Deviation measures or
describes how far a set of data (assumed values of
random variables) are spread out.
