1. In this problem, a fair coin is flipped three times. Assume that a random variable X is defined to be 7 times the number of heads plus 4 times the number of tails.

How many different values are possible for the random variable X?

As in the previous problem, a fair coin is flipped 28 times. If X is the number of heads, then the distribution of X can be approximated with a normal distribution, N(14,2.6), where the mean (μ) is 14 and standard deviation (σ) is 2.6. Using this approximation, find the probability of flipping 18 or 19 heads. You may use the portion of the Standard Normal Table below. z1.21.31.41.51.61.71.81.92.02.12.20.000.88490.90320.91920.93320.94520.95540.96410.97130.97720.98210.98610.010.88690.90490.92070.93450.94630.95640.96490.97190.97780.98260.98640.020.88880.90660.92220.93570.94740.95730.96560.97260.97830.98300.98680.030.89070.90820.92360.93700.94840.95820.96640.97320.97880.98340.98710.040.89250.90990.92510.93820.94950.95910.96710.97380.97930.98380.98750.050.89440.91150.92650.93940.95050.95990.96780.97440.97980.98420.98780.060.89620.91310.92790.94060.95150.96080.96860.97500.98030.98460.98810.070.89800.91470.92920.94180.95250.96160.96930.97560.98080.98500.98840.080.89970.91620.93060.94290.95350.96250.96990.97610.98120.98540.98870.090.90150.91770.93190.94410.95450.96330.97060.97670.98170.98570.9890

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is ttt, then =Rttt0. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: =X−R4. The values of X are thus: Outcome tth hth htt tht thh ttt hht hhh...
