Transcribed Image Text:Practice Exercise 1. A grade 11 student of Tabaco National High School surveyed the households in Tabaco City. The random variable X represents the number of high school students with gadgets to be used in online classes. The probability distribution of X is shown below. 1 2 3 4 X P(x) 0 0.02 0.18 0.30 0.40 0.10 Find the expected value and interpret the result.
Example 1: A grade 11 ABM student conducts a survey to be presented in his Practical Research subject
about the number of 4Ps grantees in his barangay. The random variable X represents the number of 4Ps
grantees in his barangay. The probability distribution of X is shown below:

Find the mean or the expected value of X and interpret the result.
Solution:
a. In computing for the mean or expected value of X, we will represent our solution in a tabular form

b. Interpret the result: The expected value is 2. So, the average number of 4Ps grantees in his
barangay is two.
Example 2: In a certain day, ALAY KAPWA canteen recorded the number of senior high school teachers
buying and eating snacks during their vacant periods. The random variable X represents the number of senior
high school teachers who buy and eat snacks during their vacant periods. The probability distribution of X is
