    The document discusses random variables and their possible values. It provides two examples: (1) tossing three coins and counting the number of tails, with possible values of 0, 1, 2, 3; and (2) drawing balls from an urn containing red and blue balls and counting the blue balls, with possible values of 0, 1, 2. It then defines a discrete random variable as one with countable possible outcomes, like those in the examples. The document poses three independent tasks asking to identify the values of random variables based on described experiments.

    INDEPENDENT LEARNING SHEET 3

    LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
    • Finds the possible values of a random variable. M11/12SP-IIIa-3

    LEARNING CONCEPTS:

    A random variable is a function that associates a real number to each element in the sample space. It is a variable
    whose values are determined by chance.

    Example 1: Tossing Three Coins

    Suppose three coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the number of tails that occur. Find the
    values of the random variable Y. Complete the table below.

    Therefore, the values of the random variable are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

    Example 2: Drawing Balls from an Urn

    Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 5 red balls and 6 blue balls. Let Z be the
    random variable representing the number of blue balls. Find the values of the random variable Z. Complete the table
    below.

    Therefore, the values of the random variable are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

    A random variable is a discrete random variable if its set of possible outcomes is countable. Mostly, discrete random
    variables represent count data, such as the number of defective chairs produced in a factory. For Example 1, the possible
    values of random variable Y are 0, 1, 2, and 3. The possible values for random variable Z in Example 2, are 0, 1, and 2.
    Random variables Y and Z are discrete random variables.

    Random variables Y and Z are discrete random variables.
    Suppose an experiment is conducted to determine the distance that a certain type of car will travel using 10 liters
    of gasoline over a prescribed test course. If distance is a random variable, then we have an infinite number of distances
    that cannot be equated to the number of whole numbers. This is an example of a continuous random variable.

    INDEPENDENT TASK
    Directions: Identify the values of random variable.
    A. Four coins are tossed. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of heads that occur. Find the values
    of the random variable Z.
    B. A shipment of five computers contains two that are slightly defective. If a retailer receives three of these
    computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N for defective and non-
    defective computers, respectively. To each sample point assign a value x of the random variable X representing the
    number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly defective.
    C. Let T be a random variable giving the number of heads plus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin. List the
    elements of the sample space S for the three tosses of the coin and assign a value to each sample point.
