COVID-19: ONE'S GREATEST FEAR The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome was spread in the Philippines on January 30, 2020. Thousands of people in the country tested positive in this virus, and some of them died from the disease. The following table shows the number of Daily Deaths in Region IV-A: Calabarzon from March 26-April 5, 2021. Complete the table by illustrating the probability distribution if x is the random variable that represents the number of deaths. (HINT: To compute for the probability P(X), divide each Number of Death X by the total number of deaths n(S).)
Answer the following questions:
1. What is n(S)?
2. Do the data represent a discrete or a continuous random variable?
3. What is the EP(X)?
4. Is the distribution a discrete probability distribution? Why?
5. All the current news surrounding the risks, challenges, and deaths associated with the sudden increase of Covid-19 cases has definitely weakened us. What is your greatest fear that will less/most likely happen to humanity and how are you going to cope up with this fear?
