Detailed Lesson Plan in Statistics

Quarter Four Week 1 (Day 1)

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content standards The learnerdemonstrates understanding of key concepts of random variables
and probability distributions.
B. 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).
C. Learning  To learn the concept of the probability distribution of a discrete random
Competencies/Objectives variable.
 Illustrates a probability distribution for a discrete random variable
and its properties.
II. CONTENT Topic: Probability Distribution for a Discrete Random Variable and its Properties
Mathematical Concepts:
Discrete random variables

IV. PROCEDURE
A. Reviewing the previous Ask some learners what are the two types of variable
lesson or presenting the Guide Questions:
new lesson 1. What is qualitative variable?
2. What are the two types of quantitative variables?
3. What type of quantitative variable which can only take a countable
number of values?
B. Establishing a purpose How many times have you played a game of cards or a board game?
for the lesson Did you wonder whether you could predict when you would beat your
opponent?
In this lesson you will use coins. You will discover that experiments are done in
mathematics, just as they are in science.
C. Presenting Teacher will post the concept and example of random variables
examples/instances of Present the Video of illustration Discrete random variables
the new lesson
Teacher will explain Random Variables

Make known to students what Random variables:

Random Variables are variables whose possible values are numerical outcomes
of a random event
Examples:
 Flipping a coin 3 times
X = F’s of HEADS
X = {0, 1, 2, 3}
ROLLING 2 DICE
X = Sum of n’s of facing up
X = {2, 3, 4, . . ., 12}

D. Discussing new concepts Teacher will Discuss and explain examples of PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION OF
and practicing new skills DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE:
#1 EXAMPLE:
Experiment: flipping of coin 4 times
Event: Getting Tails
Solutions:
S = {HHHH, HTHH, HHTH, …, TTTT}
= 16 possible outcomes
X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
= discrete random variable of getting TAILS
1 6
P(X=0)= P(X=2)=
16 16
4 4
P(X=1)= P(X=3) =
16 16
1
P(X=4 )=
16
E. Discussing new concepts The teacher will let the learners solve the following:
and practicing new skills Using the probability model below, find the probability of getting at
#2 MOST 2 TAILS when you flip a coin 4 times
No. of TAILS 0 1 2 3 4
PROBABILITY 1 4 6 4 1
16 16 16 16 16
The learner must have the same answer below:
Probability of getting at MOST 2 times
P(X < 2) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)
1 4 6
= 16 + 16 + 16
11
= 16 ≈0.6875
The probability of getting at MOST 2 Tails when you flip a coin 4
times is 68.75
F. Developing mastery 1. If you flip a coin five times, how many outcomes give three
(Leads to Formative heads and two tails?
Assessment 3) 2. With five coin flips, how many outcomes give one tail and four
heads?

3. Finding practical We can have many game of chances, decision we made every day and
application of sometimes we are not sure if it will be successful, but through experimenting
concepts and skills in we can know the chances that it can be successful.
daily living Science use it when the most number of testing occur was identified it is the
probability that there product or output become successful.

4. Making Guide Question:

generalizations of What is Probability distribution on Discrete Random Variables?
 concepts and skills in
daily living
5. Evaluating learning 1. Find the probability of getting at MOST 3 Tails when you flip a coin 4
times?
2. With four coin flips, how many outcomes give three heads and one tail?
3. Find the probability of getting at MOST 4 Tails when you flip a coin 6
times?

6. Additional activities
for application or
remediation
