Question
Suppose that a coin is to be tossed four times, and let X represent the number of
tails that occur. Illustrate a probability distribution for a random variable X.
2.Spin and Add
A spinner has 3 equal sections that are labeled 1,2,
and 3. If the spinner spins twice, find the sum of the
two numbers it lands on. Let X be the random
variable that represents the sum of the two numbers.
a. List all sample spaces and identify how many
they are.
b. Let X be the random variable that represents
the sum of two numbers. What are the possible values of X?
c. Illustrate a probability distribution for a random variable X.
