Answer #1

Let X denotes number of heads in four flips of a coin.

X ~ Binomial(n = 4, p = 0.5)

The probability mass function of X is

a) The probability one will get all four heads

b) The probability one will get all four tails

c) The probability that either all four heads or four tails

d) The probability that anything but four heads or four tails
