Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fractions.

The number of heads in 5 tosses of a coin. Please answer in a table to understand better.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer :-

Given ,

By using this formula we can solve this sum .

Where ,

n =Number of heads = 5

x = possibilities of number of heads = 0,1,2,3,4,5

p = probability of head

p = possibility of getting heads of a coin  / total number of faces of a coin

  

q = probability of tail

q = 1 - p

q = 1 -0.5

q = 0.5

x P( x )
0
