    Illustrating a Random Variable (Discrete and Continuous)

    I. Learning Competency with Code


    Illustrates a random variable (discrete and continuous). (M11/12SP-IIIa-1)

    II. Background Information for Learners

    As previously learned in Junior High School lessons, there are lots of


    wonders in nature or in real-life, like tossing a coin or rolling a die, whose
    outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty in advance, but the set of all the
    possible outcomes is known. These are what we call as random phenomena or
    random experiments.

    A random experiment is a mechanism that produces a definite outcome


    that cannot be predicted with certainty. The set of all possible outcomes of an
    experiment is called the sample space. The sample space associated with a
    random experiment is the set of all possible outcomes. An event is a subset of
    the sample space.

    Remember that a variable is a characteristic or attribute that can assume


    different values. We use capital letters to denote or represent a variable. A
    variable X whose value depends on the outcome of a random process is called a
    random variable. A random variable is a variable whose value is a numerical
    outcome of a random phenomenon. It 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 or experiment.

    A random variable can be discrete or continuous.

    Discrete Random Variables are variables that can take on a finite


    number of distinct values.
    Continuous Random Variables are random variables that take an
    interminably uncountable number of potential values, regularly measurable
    amounts.
    Example 1: Tossing Three Coins

    Suppose you tossed three coins and you record the results of the toss. To
    write the result easily, use letter H for the heads and letter T for the tails.
    If the results of your toss are heads, tails, heads, then you will write HTH.
    Count the number of heads that appeared and write it on a sheet of paper.
    Then, record all the possible answers. Write all eight possible outcomes,
    and then list down which one had zero (0), 1, 2, or 3 heads. Tally the results if
    possible. Do the listing systematically in order to avoid confusion. Start with the
    outcomes with zero (0) heads, then continue from there. In your listing, let X be
    the number of heads.
    Possible Outcomes Number of Heads (X)
    TTT 0
    TTH 1
    THT 1
    HTT 1
    THH 2
    HTH 2
    HHT 2
    HHH 3

    So, the possible number of heads (X) are 0, 1, 2 and 3.

    The random variables in the preceding activity are called discrete random
    variables because the set of possible outcomes is countable.

    Example 2. Distance Covered for 5L of Gasoline

    Suppose an experiment will be conducted to determine the distance


    travelled of a certain type of car given 5L of gasoline over a prescribed test
    course. Notice that if the distance is the random variable, the we can get an
    infinite number of distances that cannot be equated to the number of whole
    numbers.

    Types of Car Distance Travelled for 5L Gasoline


    Mitsubishi Mirage 80.65 km
    Nissan Sentra 58.49 km
    Toyota Corolla 65.79 km
    Ford Wagon 34.01 km
    BMW Coupe 58.14 km
    So, the distance travelled for 5L of gasoline are 80.65 km, 58.49 km, 65.79
    km, 34.01 km and 58.14 km.
    The random variables in the preceding activity are called continuous
    random variables because the set of possible outcomes is not countable or it
    does take on values that are whole numbers.
