Answer:

The answer to each point is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve point by point:

a)  We have to:

Random variable X = number of heads

Let, H => heads, T => tails

b) We have that the combinations are

TTT, TTH, THT, THH, HTT, HTH, HHT, HHH

Number of Heads (X)  0     1      2     3

Probability (P)             1/8   3/8  3/8   1/8

c) attached the histogram.

d)  We have the following:

Mean = E (X) = 0 * 1/8 + 1 * 3/8 + 2 * 3/8 + 3 * 1/8

m = 1.5

The mean is 1.5

e) E (X ^ 2) = 0 * 1/8 + 12 * 3/8 + 22 * 3/8 + 32 * 1/8 = 3

Variance = E (X ^ 2) - (E (X)) ^ 2

Var = 3 - (1.5) ^ 2

Var = 0.75

The variance is 0.75

f) standard deviation = (Var) ^ (1/2) = (0.75) ^ (1/2) = 0.866

sd = 0.866

the standard deviation is 0.866

g) P (2 or more heads) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 0.5

The probability is 50%

h)  P (two heads) = 3/8 = 0.375

It is likely that out of 8 times of 3 flips, 3 times we can observe two heads out of 3, therefore it is not unusual.
