SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SELF-LEARNING MODULE

Grade: 11 Semester: First Semester

Core Subject Title: Statistics and Probability No. of Hours/Semester: 80 hours

Core Subject Description:

At the end of the course, the students must know how to find the mean and variance of a random
variable, to apply sampling techniques and distributions, to estimate population mean and proportion, to
perform hypothesis testing on population mean and proportion, and to perform correlation and regression
analyses on real-life problems.

Introduction

Welcome to Statistics and Probability Module!

Statistics deals with data; its importance has been recognized by governments, by the private sector, and
across disciplines because of the need for evidence-based decision making. It has become even more
important in the past few years, now that more and more data is being collected, stored, analyzed and re-
analyzed. From the time when humanity first walked the face of the earth until 2003, we created as much as
5 exabytes of data (1 exabyte being a billion “gigabytes”). Information communications technology (ICT)
tools have provided us the means to transmit and exchange data much faster, whether these data are in the
form of sound, text, visual images, signals or any other form or any combination of those forms using
desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and other gadgets with the use of the internet, social media
(facebook, twitter). With the data deluge arising from using ICT tools, as of 2012, as much as 5 exabytes
were being created every two days (the amount of data created from the beginning of history up to 2003); a
year later, this same amount of data was now being created every ten minutes.

MODULE 1

Topic/ Lesson Name EXPLORING DISCRETE & CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLES

Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of random variables
and probability distributions.
Performance Standards The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-
life problem (such as in decision making and games of chance).
Most Essential Learning  illustrate discrete and continuous random variable; and
Competencies  distinguish the difference between discrete and continuous random
variable.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon the completion of this module, you will be able to:

 illustrate random variable; and

 find the possible values of a random variable.

LET’S WARM- UP

Classify each random variable as discrete or continuous random variable:

1. number of female teachers in your school
2. the amount of gasoline consumed by a grab driver
3. time needed to finish taking a bath
4. number of UPCAT passers this year in Pasig
5. number of laptops given to Pasig City teachers for this school year.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Steps on how to determine the random variables on any events or experiments: 1. Determine the
sample space. Assign letters that will represent each outcome. 2. Count the number of the value of the
random variable (capital letter assigned).

Module Content

Two types of random variables:

1. Discrete random variable is a set of possible outcomes that are countable or digital

2. Continuous random variable is a random variable where values are on a continuous scale,
where the data can take infinitely many values such as temperature, weights and heights.

Example 1: Suppose a coin is tossed. Heads or tails are the two possible outcomes. Therefore, this
is a discrete random variable.

Example 2: Suppose a teacher surveys her class for the amount of calorie intake of the students’
breakfast. This is not countable; thus, this is a continuous random variable.

Example 3:

Random Variables Classification

The number of male athletes discrete
Time spent in eating breakfast Continuous
The amount of sugar in a cup of milk continuous
The amount of siblings you have discrete
The number of deaths infected by Covid-19
discrete
In Philippines for the month of June
