Good afternoon again class and How’s
your day? Good afternoon sir! We’re good sir.
3. Checking of Attendance

attendance after the class so that I will
know who is absent during the discussion.
Thank you Ms. Secretary! You’re welcome sir!
4. Review
So today we will have a new topic but who (One of the student will answer)
still remember our last topic?
Yes Mr./Ms. Our last topic sir is all about summation
notation or sigma notation, it’s part and
how to expand summation notation.
Very Good Mr./Ms.
What is summation notation? (One of the student will answer)
Yes Mr./Ms. The symbol ∑ indicates summation and is
used as a shorthand notation for the sum of
terms that follow a pattern.
Very Good Mr./Ms.
How about the parts of summation
notation?
Students answer may vary.
Thank you Ms./Mr. for that very good
answer.
You’re welcome sir.
B. Motivation
Instruction: Find and evaluate

2. ∑ 2 k
k =1 (One of the student will answer)
Who wants to answer number 1? 4
∑ 5 k = 5(1) + 5(2) + 5(3) + 5(4)
k =1
Yes Mr./Ms. = 5 + 10 + 15 + 20
= 15 + 15 + 20
= 30 + 20
= 50
That’s correct, thank you Mr./Ms.
(One of the student will answer)
How about number 2, who wants to
answer?
3
Yes Mr./Ms.
∑ 2 k = 2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3)
k =1
=2+ 4+6
=6+6
= 12
Very Good! Thank you Mr./Ms.
So very good students , so we all know
how to expand and evaluate summation
notation.

Very Good observation and thank you
Mr./Ms.
So our topic for this afternoon is all about
computing the mean of a discrete
probability distribution.
Before we proceed to the discussion I will
read first the learning objectives for Students are listening.
today’s lesson.
At the end of the lesson, the students will
be able to:
Define mean;
Calculate the mean of a discrete
random variable
Relate mean in a real-life situation.
Before we go to our main topic lets’ define
first what is mean.
What is mean? Who has any idea what is
mean?
Yes Mr./Ms. Mean is the average of a data set, found by
adding all numbers together and then
dividing the sum of the numbers by the
number of numbers.
Very good Mr/Ms
Mean is the average of a data set, found by
adding all numbers together and then
dividing the sum of the numbers by the
number of numbers.
Students are listening.
Example when we want to know our
average grades in 3rd quarter or first quarter
of the second semester. We just simply add
all of the grades in different subjects then
divided it by the number of subjects.
No question about the mean?
So we will proceed to the next which is the
computing the mean of the discrete random
variable. Students are listening.
Example: Consider rolling a die. What is
the average number of spots that would
appear?
Step 1: Construct the probability
distribution for the random variable X
representing the number of spots that
would appear.
Step 2. Multiply the value of the random

spots that would appear.
Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2.

∑ X . P( X)=¿ 6 ¿
= 3.5
Students are listening.
The value obtained in Step 3 is called the
mean of the random variable X or the
mean of the probability distribution X.
What does this mean tell us? The mean
tells us the average number of spots that
would appear in a roll of a die. So, the
average number of spots that would appear
is 3.5. Although the die will never show a
number which is 3.5, this implies that
rolling the die many times would lead to a

theoretical mean of 3.5.

where:

Is there any questions, clarifications,
suggestions, comments, reactions?
Very Good students!
E. Abstraction
Since there are no questions. This time I
will be the one to ask questions.
1. What is mean? Mean is the average of a data set, found by
adding all numbers together and then
dividing the sum of the numbers by the
number of numbers.
Very good Mr/Ms
2. What are the steps in computing the The steps in computing the mean of a

following;

F. Application
I will group the class into two groups.
Count off from 1 to 2. All number 1 will
go this side and all number 2 will go to this
side. Each group will select a reporter. I

have to do is to read the instructions. After
10 minutes each group paste their work in
the board and the reporter will report their
work.
Instructions: Find the mean of the
probability distribution by completing the
table below.
For Group 1.
The probabilities that a surgeon operates
on 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 patients in any day are
0.15, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30,
respectively. Find the average number of
patients that a surgeon operates in a day.
