FLASHBACK! What are the two types of random variable? DISCRETE VARIABLE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
DISCRETE VARIABLE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE are random v ariables whose values are obtained by counting . These are variables that can take on a finite number of distinct values. are random variables that take an interminably uncountable number of potential values, regularly measurable amounts.

LESSON OBJECTIVE 1. Calculate the mean of a discrete random variable
Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers To calculate it: • add up all the numbers, • then divide by how many numbers there are.
Who’s the fastest solver? Ex. Given the values of the variables X and Y, evaluate the following summations. X 1 = 5, X 2 = 4, X 3 = 3 Y 1 = 3, Y 2 = 1 Y 3 = 4 (1) Σ 𝑋 = (2) Σ( 𝑌 ) = (3) Σ ( 𝑋 + 𝑌) = (4) Σ( 𝑋𝑌) =
The symbol Σ (sigma) or summation symbol denotes a sum of a multiple terms or numbers. Ex. Given the values of the variables X and Y, evaluate the following summations. X 1 = 5, X 2 = 4, X 3 = 3 Y 1 = 3, Y 2 = 1 Y 3 = 4 (1) Σ 𝑋 = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 (2) Σ( 𝑌 ) = 3 + 1 + 4 = 8 (3) Σ ( 𝑋 + 𝑌) = (5+4) + (4+1) + (3+4) = 9+5+7 = 21 (4) Σ( 𝑋𝑌) = (5 *3)+(4*1) + (3*4) = 15 + 4 + 12 = 31

Mean of a discrete random VARIABLES The Mean (µ) of a discrete random variable is the central value or average of its corresponding probability mass function. It is also called as the Expected Value. It is computed using the formula: µ = Σ𝑋𝑃(𝑥) Where x is the outcome and p(x) is the probability of the outcome.
STEPS IN GETTING THE MEAN OF THE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION Construct the probability distribution for random variable. Multiply the value of random variable by the corresponding probability. Add all the results obtained in Step 2.
Reminder: Before solving for mean random variable make sure that the distribution given is a valid probability distribution. What is a valid probability distribution? 1. Probability of each random variable should not be less than 0 and not more than 1 . 2. The sum of all the probability should always equal to 1.
