Question
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin twice. (Let H represent the head of the coin and T represent it's tail.)
(a)
List the experimental outcomes. (Select all that apply.)
(H)(T)(H, H)(H, T)(T, H)(T, T)
(b)
Define a random variable that represents the number of heads occurring on the two tosses.
The random variable x, where x = that occur for , describes the scenario.
(c)
Show what value the random variable would assume for each of the experimental outcomes. (If an experimental outcome does not occur, enter NONE.)
| Outcome | Values of x |
