Random Variables and Probability Distribution

A. Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous


1. X = the number of mobile phones sold in one week in AB store
2. Y = the weight in pounds of newly born babies in a hospital nursery
3. X = the number of cars in a parking lot every noon
4. Y = the number of gifts received by a birthday celebrator
5. X = the length of time spent in playing video games in minutes

B. Determine whether the distribution represents a probability distribution. Explain your answer.
6.

x 1 5 7 8 9

P(x) 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3

7.
x 1 2 3 5

P(x) 1/4 1/8 1/4 1/8

8.
x 1 3 5 7
C. P(x) 0.35 0.25 0.22 0.12

Construct a probability distribution for the data and draw a histogram of the distribution.

1. The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 patients in any one day are 0.15, 0.20,
0.25, 0.20, and 0.20, respectively.

2. The probabilities that a bias die will fall as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 are ½, 1/6, 1/12, 1/12, 1/12, and 1/12,
respectively.

3. The probabilities that a student will borrow 1, 2, 3, or 4 books are 0.45, 0.30, 0.15, and 0.10,
respectively.

D. A random variable X has the following probability distribution:


x 1 2 3 4 5

P(x) 11/6 2/9 y/18 2/9 1/9

Find y and construct a histogram to describe P(x).

E. Find the expected value of each probability distribution below:


1.
x 0 1 2 3 4 5

P(x) 0.123 0.134 0.211 0.321 0.140 0.071

2.
x 1 2 3 4 5

P(x) 3/10 1/10 2/10 2/10 2/10

G. Find the variance and standard deviation of each of the following distribution.
1.
x 0 1 2 3

P(x) 0.10 0.45 0.25 0.20

2.
x 0 1 2 3 4

P(x) 0.11 0.22 0.33 0.25 0.09

H. Solve each problem:


1. Laverny tosses an unbiased coin. He receives P100 if a head appears and he pays P40 if a tail appears.
Find the expected value and the variance of his gain.

2. The officers of the Science Club are planning to sell 125 tickets to be raffled during the school’s
foundation day. One ticket will win P2,000 and the other will win nothing. If you will buy one ticket,
what will be your expected gain?
