STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
Quarter Period: Third Quarter
Subject Matter: Probability Distribution for Discrete Random Variable
Grade Level : Grade 11
Lesson 1
Topic or Title of the Lesson: Introduction to Random Variable
Content Standard: The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of random
variables and probability distributions.
Performance Standard: The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for given
real life situations/problems (in decision making and game of chance)

Continuous)
2. The learner distinguishes the difference between a discrete
variable and continuous variable
Target or Specific Learning Outcomes:

1. define a random variable.
2. illustrate a random variable.
3. define discrete and continuous variable.
4. distinguish the difference between discrete and continuous random variable.
5. give real life example involving discrete and continuous random variables.

Instruction/ Delivery : 4 A’s
Practice : Worksheets
Enrichment/Evaluation : Written test (parallel to the practice test)
Reinforcement : homework (parallel to practice and evaluation test)
DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON
A. Introduction/Motivation
Recall the previous lesson in Fundamental Counting Principle.
tossing a coin and rolling a dice
B. Main Lesson
The delivery of the main lesson is guided using the 4A’s approach (Activity,
Analysis, Abstraction, and Application)
Activity
Students in group (Concept Mapping)
o Each group will give situations that illustrate variables
o The learners will group the given situations/events with similar properties
o Let the learners explain the result.
Analysis
Identify the difference of the group.
Abstraction
As a result of the analysis, students define and distinguish discrete and continuous
random variable.
Application
Given a real life situation, determine if it is discrete or continuous random variable
C. Practice
Let the students answer the worksheet posted in their EDMODO.
D. Enrichment/Evaluation
Write D if the situation/event is DISCRETE and write C if it is CONTINUOUS.
1. Number of children in a household.
2. Number of students sleeping in statistics class.
3. Height of children.
4. Weight of children.
5. Height of tress
6. Time to wake up in the morning.
7. Speed of the train.
8. Number of students in a class.
9. Number of languages.
10. Length of a leaf.
Reinforcement: (Homework)
Cite situations that happened in your life which involve discrete and continuous
random variables.
