2. Suppose that five cards are drawn from a deck, one at a time, without replacement. Let X = the
number of times a king is drawn from this experiment. What are the possible values of X? Does the
experiment represent a discrete or a continuous random variable?
The possible values of X are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. This experiment represent a discrete random
variable since it has finite number of possible values.
Look back and reflect on what you have done, then answer the following questions.
1. How do you know whether a random variable is continuous or discrete?
. A variable is continuous when its value is can only be obtained through measuring such
as speed, mass, or temperature, whereas the value discrete variable is countable for example is the
number of students present in the class
Mean= 3.41
Variance=1.58
Standard Deviation=1.26
Based on the data above, observe, analyze and answer the following questions:
1. Is the probability of 𝑋 lies between 0 and 1? Yes
2. What is the sum of all probabilities of 𝑋? 1
3. Is there a negative probability? Is it possible to have a negative probability? No, and it is
impossible to have a negative probability.
4. What is the average or mean of the probabilities of discrete random variable? 3.41
5. What are the variance and the standard deviation of the probability distribution from the data
above? Variance=1.58, Standard Deviation=1.26

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our
breath away and by the chances we bravely face.

Life is not about how long you live, it’s about what you did in your life to make it worth
living.
