- An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple of “heads” (h) and tails (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below.
