Let $X_{n}$ be the random variable that equals the number of tails minus the number of heads when $n$ fair coins are flipped. a) What is the expected value of $X_{n} ?$ b) What is the variance of $X_{n} ?$
Discrete Probability
Expected Value and Variance
In flipping a fair coin let $X$ be the number of tosses to get the first head. Then $p(x)=.5^{x}$ for $x=1,2,3, \ldots$ Find $M_{X}(t)$ and use it to get $E(X)$ and $\operatorname{SD}(X) .$
