Answer:

(a) Probability distribution is prepared below.

(b) The probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses is 0.875.

(c) The probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses is 0.875.

(d) The expected value of X is 1.5.

(e) The standard deviation of X is 2.121.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is:</u> A fair coin is tossed three times. Let X be the number of heads observed in three tosses of this fair coin.

(a) Find the probability distribution of X.

(b) Find the probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(c) Find the probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(d) Find the expected value of X. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

(e) Find the standard deviation of X. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Now, firstly the sample space obtained in three tosses of a fair coin is given as;

Sample Space (S) = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, TTH, THT, TTT}

(a) The Probability distribution of X is given below;

   Number of Heads (X)         P(X)            X \times P(X)               X^{2} \times P(X)

              0                               \frac{1}{8} = 0.125            0                           0

              1                                \frac{3}{8} = 0.375         0.375                     0.375  

              2                               \frac{3}{8} = 0.375         0.75                          3

              3                               \frac{1}{8} = 0.125       <u>    0.375    </u>              <u>  3.375 </u>

           Total                                                 <u>    1.5        </u>              <u>  6.75    </u>      

(b) The probability that two or fewer heads are observed in three tosses is given by = P(X \leq 2)

      P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

                     = 0.125 + 0.375 + 0.375

                     = 0.875

(c) The probability that at least one head is observed in three tosses is given by = P(X \geq 1)

      P(X \geq 1) =  1 - P(X = 0)

                    =  1 - 0.125

                    =  0.875

(d) The expected value of X = E(X) =  \sum (X \times P(X))

                                                              =  1.5

(e) The Variance of X = V(X) = E(X^{2} ) - ( E(X))^{2}

                                      =  \sum (X^{2}  \times P(X))- (\sum (X \times P(X)))^{2}

                                      =  6.75 - 1.5^{2}  = 4.5

Now, Standard deviation of X = \sqrt{V(X)}

                                                  = \sqrt{4.5}  = 2.121.

A rectangle's length is twice its width. if the perimeter is 66 cm find the width of the rectangle
Lesechka [4]
Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Let x = width and let 2x = length 

Perimeter = 66

2x + 2(2x) = 66

2x + 4x = 66 --> 6x = 66 --> x = 66/6 --> x = 11

The width of the rectangle is 11 cm.

What is the slope of the line?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Using it's concept, the slope of the line is of 3.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line given two points?</h3>

The slope of a line, given two points, is given by change in y divided by change in x.

In this problem, the points are (1,5) and (2,8), hence the slope is given by:

m = (8 - 5)/(2 - 1) = 3.

The slope of the line is of 3.
