LET US PRAY

Dear Lord,
We thank you a hundredfold for the love
and care that you have given us. May we in
return to you your good works by multiplying
it with love and respect, adding more faith,
subtracting the unworldly behavior and evil
works and dividing your given talents to
others so we can sum it all and be united as
one in your family. In this we pray, Amen.

PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
•A probability distribution is a
mathematical function that describes
the probability of different possible
values of a variable.
What is a Discrete Probability Distribution

Is a table listing of all possible

values that a discrete variable
can take on, together with the
associated probabilities.
 Properties of a Discrete Probability
Distribution
• The sum of all probabilities
should be 1.
• For any discrete probability
distribution, the probability P(x) is
between 0 and 1.
0 ≤ P(x) ≤ 1
Determine the following distribution if it is a discrete
probability distribution. YES or NO? WHY?
X 7 14 21
P(X) 0.3 0.1 1.7
No

X 20 30 40 50
(Px) 0.05 0.35 0.4 0.2 Yes

Mean, Standard Deviation and
Variance of the Probability
Distribution

March 13, 2023

 Learning Objectives
During the learning session, I am expected to:
1. defines the mean, variance and standard
deviation of a discrete random variable (U),
2. solve the mean, variance and standard
deviation of a discrete probability distribution
(AP), and
3. interpret the result of the given data. (AN).
 Mean
• The mean is considered as a measure of the central
location of a random variable. It is the weighted
average of the values that random variable X can take,
with weights provided by the probability distribution.
 Mean
The expected value or mean value of a discrete
random variable x is can be computed by first
multiplying each possible x value by the
probability of observing that value and then
adding the resulting quantities.
Mean formula
 Variance and Standard Deviation
•The variance is refers to a statistical
measurement of the spread between
numbers in a data set.

•The standard deviation is a measure of how

dispersed the data is in relation to the mean.

Example 1:
•The probability that a traffic inspector
will discover violations of the traffic
Code in Davao City are given in the
Following.
The probabilities that a traffic inspector will discover violations of the
traffic Code in Davao City are given in the following table.

How to solve the Standard Deviation?
.
• Interpretation

⸫ The variance of the probability

distribution is 1.81. The standard deviation of
the probability distribution is 1.35. This implies
that on the average number of violations are
somewhat far or spread out from the mean of
1.25.
 NOTE:

• Small variance or standard deviation means

that the assumed values or data points tend
to be very close to the mean.
• Higher variance or standard deviation means
that the assumed values or data points are
spread out from the mean.
 Where we can apply this concept?
• Studies on the progress of a school
• Studies on the performance of the students
• Studies on the marketability of a product
• Making a feasibility study
• Identify the population of the marginalized sector in
Davao City
• Identifying the desired brand of COVID-19 vaccine of
the community
Example 2:
•The Grade 11 HUMSS are choosing
a dream job they like to pursue in the
future.
•Find the mean, variance and the
standard deviation
•Interpret the result.

Interpretation

The variance of the probability distribution is

3.06. The standard deviation of the probability
distribution is 1.75. This implies that on the
average number of students according to their
dream job are somewhat close from the mean
of 6.17.
