Statistics and Probability

1. Dear Lord,
May we through your guidance
Add love to the world,
Subtract evil from our lives
Multiply your good works to your children
And divide your gifts and share them to
others.
This we pray in the name of Mary, our
mother and Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

3. Statistics
It is a collection of methods for
planning experiments, obtaining
data, and then analyzing,
interpreting and drawing
conclusions based on the data.

4. • It has two broad areas, namely,
descriptive statistics and inferential
statistics.
• Descriptive Statistics – deals primarily
with the collection and organization of data.
• Inferential Statistics -deals with making
inferences or conclusions about a
population based on the findings of the
study conducted on a sample.

5. Basic Terms in Statistics
• Data– are the values that variables can assume
• Variable – is a characteristics that is observable
or measurable in every unit of universe.
• Population – is the set of a all possible values of
a variable
• Sample - is a subgroup of a population.

6. 1. Qualitative Variables –
•words or codes that represent a class
or category
•express a categorical attribute
- gender
- religion
- marital status
- highest educational attainment
REVIEW:
Classification of Variables

7. 2. Quantitative Variables
•number that represent an amount or
count.
•numerical data, sizes are meaningful and
answer questions as “how may” or “how
much”
- height
- weight
- number of registered cars

8. Which of the variables are qualitative? Which are
quantitative?
• highest educational attainment
• body temperature
• civil status
• brand of laundry soap being used
• total household expenditures last month in pesos
• number of children in the household
• time (in hours) consumed on Facebook on a
particular day

RANDOM
VARIABLES
1st Week

10. Objectives
•At the end of the lesson the students
should be able to:
a) Illustrate a random variable;
b) Find the possible values of a random
variable.
c) Manifest active participation in the
teaching learning process.

11. Experiment

12. Experiment
•Any activity, which can
be done repeatedly
under similar
conditions.

13. Sample Space
•Set of all possible
outcomes of an
experiment.

14. GETTING READY
•If two coins are tossed, what numbers
can be assigned for the frequency of
heads that will occur?
•Note: The answer to this questions
require an understanding of random
variables.

15. Random Variable
Random Variable a
numerical quantity that
is assigned to the
outcome of an
experiment .

16. Illustrative Example
1. Supposed two coins are tossed. Let X be the
random variable representing the number of heads
that occur. Find the values of random variable X.

The values of the random variable X (number of heads) in
this experiment are 0, 1 and 2.
X = { 0, 1 , 2 }

18. GROUP ACTIVITY
DEFECTIVE CELL PHONES
• Suppose three cell phones are tested at random.
We want to find out the number of defective cell
phones that occur. Thus, to each outcomes in the
sample space we shall assign a value.
Let D represent the defective cell phone and
N represent the non-defective cell phone. If we
let X be the random variable representing the
number of defective cell phones, can you show the
values of random variable X?

19. POSSIBLE
OUTCOMES
VALUE OF THE
RANDOM VARIABLE X

22. ACTIVITY 3
• Two ball 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.
• 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.

23. ACTIVITY 3
•Two ball are drawn in succession

30. 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.

32. 1. A shipment of five computers contains
two that are slightly defective. If a retailer
receives three computers at random, list
the elements of the sample space S using
the letter D and N for defective and non-
defective computers, respectively. To each
sample point assign a value x the random
variable X representing the number of
computers purchased by the retailer
which are slightly defective.

40. DISCRETE RANDOM
VARIABLE
•It is a random variable where the
set of possible outcomes is
countable. Mostly, discrete random
variables represent count data,
such as the number of defective
chairs produced in a factory.

41. CONTINUOUS RANDOM
VARIABLE
•It is a random variable where it
takes on values on a continuous
scale. Often, continuous random
variables represent measured
data, such as heights, weights,
and temperatures.

42. Classify the following random
variables as discrete or continuous.
1. The number of defective computers produced
by a manufacturer.
2. The weight of the new-borns each year in a

4. The amount of paint utilized in a building
project.
