Consider a statistical experiment where you flip two coins and you are interested in how many heads flipped. (1) Write a description of the random variable describing this experiment, i.e. X = ”some description” (2) Write a probability distribution describing the probability of the outcomes of this event. (3) What is the expected number of heads flipped?
