Statistics and Probability Module 1

This document contains Cielo Dimayuga's work on a probability and statistics module. It classifies several random variables as discrete or continuous. It then evaluates whether given probability distributions are discrete by checking if they satisfy the properties of a discrete probability distribution, specifically if the probabilities sum to 1. It finds missing values in some probability distributions and constructs probability histograms to describe the distributions.

Module 1: Random Variable


ELABORATE
A. Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous.

1. X = the number of mobile phones sold in one week in AB store Discrete


2. Y = the weights in pounds of newly born babies in a hospital nursery Continuous
3. X = the number of cars in a parking lot every noon Discrete
4. Y = the number of gifts received by a birthday celebrator Discrete
5. X = the length of time spent in playing video games in minutes Continuous
6. Y = the number of students enrolled in Grade 11 in your school Discrete

B. Determine whether each of the following a discrete probability distribution or not? If it is not
a discrete probability distribution, identify the property or properties that are not satisfied.

x 1 2 3 4 5
P(x) 0.10 0.20 0.25 0.40 0.05
