Question
Obtain the probability distribution of number of heads in two tosses of a coin.
Step 1
Each toss of a coin has two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). Therefore, when a coin is tossed twice, the possible outcomes are: - HH (both tosses result in heads) - HT (first toss is heads, second toss is tails) - TH (first toss is tails, second Show more…

How do you represent the probability distribution of a random variable denoting the number of heads when an unbiased coin tossed once?
Require the use of a calculator or computer with a random number generator. Simulate 50 tosses of two coins, and compute the estimated probability that the outcome is one head and one tail (in any order).
