1 STP Random Variables (Discrete and Continuous)

The document is a lesson plan for teaching 11th grade students about random variables and probability distributions. It includes objectives, content, learning resources, procedures, and an assessment. The lesson introduces discrete and continuous random variables. Students will complete an activity to distinguish between the two types by classifying examples as discrete or continuous. They will also learn that a discrete variable can be counted while a continuous variable can be measured.

Subject: STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
Grade Level: 11
Date:_________ Day: 1
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of random variables
Content Standard
and probability distributions.
Performance The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-life
Standard problem (such as in decision making and games of chance).
 The learner illustrates a random variable (discrete and continuous).
Learning (M11/ 12SP- IIIa-1)
Competency  The learner distinguishes between a discrete and continuous random
variable. (M11/ 12SP – IIIa-2)
I. OBJECTIVES
Knowledge: Identify the list of possible outcomes in an experiment.
Skills: Distinguishes between a discrete and continuous random variable.
Affective: Perform the given task with oneness and solidarity.

3. Class Rules
B. Motivation How many are you in class?
How far did you have to travel to get to school?
How long does it take you to get to school?
How many stars are there in the universe?
What is the total number of planets orbiting the sun?
How about the universe?
C. Presentation The teacher will present the lesson and its objectives.
D. Activity Complete the table. The first one is done for you.
Event Possible Outcomes
1.Tossing a coin H,T
2. Length of the chalkboard
3. Height of your groupmates
4. Amount of salt needed to cook
chicken tinola
5. Rolling a die.
E. Analysis The teacher will ask:
1. How do you find the activity?
2. Were you able to complete the table? If yes, how? If not, why?
3. If a random variable takes on values that can be obtained by measuring it is
continuous random variable but if a random variable takes on outcomes that are
countable it is discrete random variable. Now, will you be able to classify those
events as discrete or continuous? If yes, how? If not, why?
4. In your own words how will you differentiate between discrete and
continuous random variables?

Random variable, also called stochastic variable is a variable whose value


is unknown or a function that assigns values to each of an experiment's outcomes
which is usually written using capital letters.

Random Variables

Discrete Continuous

Is a numerical value associated Has infinite numerical values


with the desired outcomes. It is associated with any interval on
also either a finite or infinite the number line system without
number of values but countable any gasp or breaks.
such as whole numbers 0,1,2,3.

F. Abstraction What is a random variable?


What are the two types of random variables?
How do you know whether a random variable is continuous or discrete?
What is the difference between continuous and discrete random variables?
G. Application With the same group, the teacher will show phrases on the screen and the
students will answer either it is discrete or continuous and write in a provided
paper. The first group to raise their hands with the correct answer will receive
two points.
1. the number of defective computers produced by a manufacturer
