Question
Let $X$ be a binomial random variable with $p=0.25$ and $n=3$. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable $Y=X^{2}$
Step 1
The probability mass function of a binomial distribution is given by: \[f_X(x) = \binom{n}{x} p^x (1-p)^{n-x}\] where $n$ is the number of trials, $p$ is the probability of success, and $x$ is the number of successes. Show more…
