Step 1
If a coin is tossed 10 times and X be the total number of Heads in 10 tosses, the X will be a random variable, and will follow the binomial probability distribution, with mean 5, and variance 2.5.
The probability function of the random variable X is given using binomial distribution,
P(X=x)=10Cx(p)x(1p)10x
where, p is the probability of getting a Head in a single toss.
Step 2
Thus, the answer is T.
