4 A random variable is a numerical measure of the outcome from a probability experiment, so its value is determined by chance. Random variables are denoted using lefers such as X Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-4
5 A discrete random variable has either a finite or countable number of values. The values of a discrete random variable can be plofed on a number line with space between each point. See the figure Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-5
6 A con0nuous random variable has infinitely many values. The values of a con-nuous random variable can be plofed on a line in an uninterrupted fashion. See the figure Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-6
7 EXAMPLE Distinguishing Between Discrete and Continuous Random Variables Determine whether the following random variables are discrete or con-nuous. State possible values for the random variable. (a) The number of light bulbs that burn out in a room of 10 light bulbs in the next year. Discrete; x = 0, 1, 2,, 10 (b) The number of leaves on a randomly selected Oak tree. Discrete; x = 0, 1, 2, (c) The length of -me between calls to 911. Con-nuous; t > Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-7

11 A probability distribu0on provides the possible values of the random variable X and their corresponding probabili-es. A probability distribu-on can be in the form of a table, graph or mathema-cal formula Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-11

31 Because the mean of a random variable represents what we would expect to happen in the long run, it is also called the expected value, E(X), of the random variable Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-31
32 EXAMPLE Compu-ng the Expected Value of a Discrete Random Variable A term life insurance policy will pay a beneficiary a certain sum of money upon the death of the policy holder. These policies have premiums that must be paid annually. Suppose a life insurance company sells a $250,000 one year term life insurance policy to a 49- year- old female for $530. According to the Na-onal Vital Sta-s-cs Report, Vol. 47, No. 28, the probability the female will survive the year is Compute the expected value of this policy to the insurance company. Survives Does not survive x P(x) ,000 = - 249, E(X) = 530( ) + (-249,470)( ) = $ Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-32

Binomial experiment (b) The 11 largest airlines had an on- -me percentage of 84.7% in November, 2001 according to the Air Travel Consumer Report. In order to assess reasons for delays, an official with the FAA randomly selects flights un-l she finds 10 that were not on -me. The number of flights X that need to be selected is recorded. Not a binomial experiment not a fixed number of trials. (c) In a class of 30 students, 55% are female. The instructor randomly selects 4 students. The number X of females selected is recorded. Not a binomial experiment the trials are not independent Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-36

(b) In a random sample of 20 car-owning households, what is the probability that less than 4 have three or more cars?

53 For a fixed probability of success, p, as the number of trials n in a binomial experiment increase, the probability distribu-on of the random variable X becomes bell- shaped. As a general rule of thumb, if np(1 p) > 10, then the probability distribu-on will be approximately bell- shaped Pearson Pren-ce Hall. All rights 6-53

55 EXAMPLE Using the Mean, Standard Devia)on and Empirical Rule to Check for Unusual Results in a Binomial Experiment According to the Experian Automotive, 35% of all car-owning households have three or more cars. A researcher believes this percentage is higher than the percentage reported by Experian Automotive. He conducts a simple random sample of 400 car-owning households and found that 162 had three or more cars. Is this result unusual? The result is unusual since 162 > Pearson Pren-ce Hall.
