Question

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fractions. The number of tails in 4 tosses of a coin.

Answer 1

Answer:

In simplified fraction, it is expressed as : 1/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/4, 1/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discrete probability distribution for the random variable is as follows:

The number of tails possible in four tosses of a coin are 0,1,2,3,4

The total number of outcomes are  

The Probability distribution is

X 0 1 2 3 4

P(X)  1/16 4/16 6/16 4/16 1/16        

Therefore, In simplified fraction, it is expressed as : 1/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/4, 1/16.
