Computing The Mean of A Discrete Probability Distribution

1) The lesson plan teaches students how to calculate and interpret the mean of a discrete random variable. It provides examples of finding the mean of probability distributions. 2) Students will participate in activities like tossing coins and observing outcomes to calculate probabilities. They will also work on sample problems to find the mean of given probability distributions. 3) As an assignment, students must find the mean of a probability distribution where the probability is 1/10 for the random variable taking on values from 1 to 10.

At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
1. illustrate and calculate the mean of a discrete random variable;
2. interpret the mean of a discrete random variable; and
3. solve problems involving mean of probability distributions.
II. Subject Matter
Topic: Computing the Mean of a Discrete Probability Distribution
Subject: Statistics and Probability
Instructional Materials: Video Presentation, Chalk and Board, Papers, Powerpoint
Presentation
Time Bounded: 1 hour
References: K-12 Statistics and Probability
Values Integration:
III. Procedure
A. Learning Activities

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

1. Preliminary Activity
“Good morning class!” “Good morning, Ma’am”

a. Prayer
“Let us pray first…” (One Student will lead the prayer)
b. Checking of Attendance

( Checking of attendance) (Students will raise their hand and


“Say Present if your name is called” will say present as the teacher calls
their name)
2. Review
a. Drill
“Please pick up the pieces of paper and (Students will pick up some pieces
plastic under your chair” of paper and plastics)
“So, how’s your day class?” “It was so great, Ma’am”

“What was our lesson last meeting?” “It was all about finding the mean
and variance of ungrouped and
grouped data”
“Okay, very good.”
3. Lesson Proper
a. Presentation of the lesson

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:
STEPS Solution
1. Construct the Number of Probability
probability Patients P(X)
X
distribution for the
random variable X 3 0.15
representing the 4 0.10
number of patients 5 0.20
that a surgeon 6 0.25
operates on a day. 7 0.30

2. Multiply the value Number


of Probability X*
of the random Patients P(X) P(X)
variable X by the X
corresponding 3 0.15 0.45
4 0.10 0.40
probability.
5 0.20 1.00
6 0.25 1.50
7 0.30 2.10

3. Add the results Number


of Probability X*
obtained in Step 2. Patients P(X) P(X)
X
3 0.15 0.45
4 0.10 0.40
5 0.20 1.00
6 0.25 1.50
7 0.30 2.10

∑𝐗 ∗ 𝐏(𝐗) = 𝟓. 𝟒𝟓

So the average
number of patients
that a surgeon will
operate in a day is
5.45.
4. Application
Each student should perform the following
experiment 20 times.
“Toss 5 coins and observe the number of
heads that will occur.”

5. Evaluation

1. Complete the table below and find the


mean of the following probability
distribution.
X P(X) X*P(X)
3 0.15
6 0.35
8 0.40
10 0.10

2. The probabilities that a customer will buy


1,2,3,4, or 5 in a grocery store are 3/10,
1/10, 1/10, 2/10, and 3/10, respectively.
What is the average number of items that
a customer will buy?

6. Assignment
Find the mean of the probability
distribution of the random variable X if
P(X) =1/10, for X= 1, 2, 3 . . . , 10.
