A coin is tossed 5 times. If `X` is the number of heads observed, find the probability distribution of `X`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the probability distribution of the random variable \(X\), which represents the number of heads observed when a coin is tossed 5 times, we can use the binomial distribution formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parameters**: - The number of trials \(n = 5\) (since the coin is tossed 5 times). - The probability of success (getting heads) on a single trial \(p = \frac{1}{2}\). - The probability of failure (getting tails) on a single trial \(q = 1 - p = \frac{1}{2}\). ...
