+25 When you toss a fair coin, the probability of getting heads is 1/2 and the probability of getting tails is 1/2.
1. When a coin is tossed 3 times, X is the number of heads.
(a) Create a probability distribution table for the variable X.
(b) Create a probability histogram for the variable X.
(c) What is the probability of tossing 3 heads in a row? Explain.
(I need help asap pls)
+532 Since I don't know LaTeX that complicated, I will tell you the probability of rolling 0, 1, 2, and 3 heads.
When you roll 0 heads, that means you can't roll a head each time, or \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\), which equals \(1\over8\).
When you roll 1 head, that means you roll HTT, THT, and TTH. The probably is still the same, but we multiply by 3 for each ordering, for a probability of \(3\over8\).
When you roll 2 heads, we can use the same logic to get \(3\over8\) again.
When you roll 3 heads, you get a head each time, or \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3={1\over8}\).
Hoping this helped,
