1.(TTT ,TTH ,THT, HTT, THH HHT, HTH ,HHH) probability of tail=p=(1/2) probability of head=q=(1/2) P(X)=^n c_r p^r q^(n−r) i{No tail . P(X=0)=^3 c_0 ((1/2))^0 ((1/2))^(3−0) =(1/8) ii)one tail P(X=1)=^3 c_1 ((1/2))^1 ((1/2))^(3−1) =(3/8) iii)2 tail =(3/8) iv)3 tail =(1/8) 2. { (x,0,1,2,3),((P(x)),(1/8),((3 )/8),(3/8),(1/8)) :} 3. Mean x^− =0×(1/8)+1×(3/8)+2×(3/8) 3×(1/8) =((12)/8)=1.5
