We toss a pair of coins and say that we have a success if both
are heads, and failure otherwise. Let X be the number of successes
if we toss n pairs of coins.
a) What is the mean and the standard deviation of X if n =
48?
b) Estimate the probability that X > 15 using the normal
approximation. Do not use the continuity correction.
c)Estimate the probability that X = 12 using the normal approximation with the continuity correction.
