A bag contains 7 coins, 2 of which have a head on both sides while the other 5 coins are normal. A coin is chosen at random from the bag and tossed 2 times. The number of heads obtained is a random variable, say X. (a) What are the possible values of X? Also tabulate the pmf of X. (b) Calculate E(X) and Var(X).
