Here's the Solution to this Question

There are 2^3=8 possible outcomes


S=\{HHH, HHT, HTH, THH,

HTT, THT, TTH, TTT\}

The possible values of the random variable H are 0, 1, 2, 3.

We will assume that the probability of getting heads and tails is the same:


p = q =1/2\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c} Possible \ Outcomes & H \\ \hline HHH & 3 \\ \hdashline HHT & 2 \\ \hdashline HTH & 2 \\ \hdashline THH & 2 \\ \hdashline HTT & 1 \\ \hdashline THT & 1 \\ \hdashline TTH & 1 \\ \hdashline TTT & 0 \\ \hdashline \end{array}


Construct the probability distribution of the random variable


\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c} h & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline p(h) & 1/8 & 3/8 & 3/8 & 1/8 \end{array}

or


\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c} h & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline p(h) & 0.125 & 0.375 & 0.375 & 0.125 \end{array}
