Introduction
To create a probability distribution table for the variable X, where X is the number of heads
Step 2
Given that:
When you toss a fair coin, the probability of getting heads is 12 and the probability of getting tails is 12.
When a coin is tossed 3 times, X is the number of heads
Outcomes for the coin tossed three times = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT}
Number of outcomes =8
Probability of getting no head =18
Probability of getting one head =38
Probability of getting two heads =38
Probability of getting three heads =18
Probability distribution table for the getting number of heads
X0123P(X)18383818
Conclusion
Probability distribution table for the getting number of heads
X0123P(X)18383818
