IN-CLASS ACTIVITY 1.

DEFECTIVE CELLPHONES
OBJECTIVES:
1. Determine the possible outcomes in a probability
experiment.
2. Find the possible values of a random variable.
Acitivity:
Suppose three cellphones are tested at random. We want to find out
the number of defective cell phones that occur. Let D represent the
defective cell phone and N represent the non-defective cell phone. If we let
X be the random variable representing the number of defective cell phones,
can you show the values of the random variable X? Complete the table below
to show the values of the random variable.
Possible Outcomes

Value of the Random Variable X

(Number of Defective Cell Phones)
