A person flips a quarter, dime, and nickel. Let x be the number of tails. Complete this probability distribution table.
X 0 1 2 3
P(x)
When you flip a coin, the probability of obtaining a tail is 0.5. the probability of head is 0.5 too.
Therefore, this is a binomial distribution with n = 3, and p = 0.5. Then the probability is
When x = 0, there is no tail, the probability is
When x = 1, the probability is
When x = 2, the probability is
When x = 3, the probability is
The table x: 0 1 2 3
P(x): 0.125 0.375 0.375 0.125
For the following normal ...
