QUESTIONS:
1. How many students does the teacher have?
2. What is the random variable in this activity?
3. What are the values of the random variable?
4. Find the sum of the probability of the random variable (W). Is the answer a
coincidence or should this be expected? Briefly explain.
5. How many learners is/are only child?
6. What is the probability that a randomly-selected learner is an only child?
7. What is the chance that a randomly-selected learner has at most two siblings?
8-10. What is the probability that a randomly-selected learner has three or more
siblings? (Your two classmates Lisa and Felix tried to answer. Below are their
solutions.)
Felix
P(W > 3) = P(W = 3 orW = 4 or W = 5 or W = 7)
=P(W = 3) + P(W = 4) + P(W = 5) +P(W=7)
=0.1 + 0.06 + 0.02 + 0.02
Lisa
P(W > 3) = P(W = 4 or W = 5 or W = 7)
=P(W = 4) + P(W = 5) +P(W=7)
=0.06 + 0.02 + 0.02
=0.1 or 10%
=0.2 or 20%
Therefore, the probability of picking a learner
having 3 or more siblings out of 50 students is 0.10
or 10% of chance.
Therefore, the probability of picking a learner having
3 or more siblings out of 50 students is 0.20 or 20%
chance.

11-15. What is the probability that a randomly-selected learner have at least 2
siblings? (Use the back page of this activity sheet for your solutions.)

TRACK/STRAND & SEC.:
(HOW MANY SIBLINGS DO THE LEARNERS HAVE)
In your Statistics class, the teacher wants to know the number of
siblings the learners have.
Teacher: How many of the class have 0 sibling?
Class: (There were 2 learners who raised their hands.)
Teacher: How many of you has 1 sibling?
Class: (There were 10 learners who raised their hands.)
This continues until 7 siblings. Suppose that we have the following
table of frequencies. Let us use W to represent the number of
sibling/s.
Probability of the Random Variable (W)
W= Number of siblings
Frequency
P(W)
2/50 = 0.04 = 4%
10/50= 0.2 = 20%
28/50=0.56 = 56%
5/50=0.1 = 10%
3/50=0.06 = 6%
1/50=0.02 = 2%
