Let X be the number of times I flip a head on a fair coin in 1 minute. From this description, we know that the random variable X follows a Poisson distribution. The probability function of a Poisson distribution is P[X = x] = e-λ λx / x! 1. What is the sample space of X? Explain how you got that answer. 2. Prove that the expected value of X is λ. 3. Given that λ = 30, what is...

Question 3: You are given a fair coin. You flip this coin twice; the two flips are independent. For each heads, you win 3 dollars, whereas for each tails, you lose 2 dollars. Consider the random variable X = the amount of money that you win. – Use the definition of expected value to determine E(X). – Use the linearity of expectation to determineE(X). You flip this coin 99 times; these flips are mutually independent. For each heads, you win...
