(a).Four quarters were flipped at a time and we know there are 16 possible outcomes.
(i).List all the possible outcomes of the sample space of the experiment above.
(3
(b). X is defined as the random variable of getting heads on a flip of these four quarters. Find the probability of getting
(i). Exactly no heads.
(ii).Exactly one head.
(iii).Exactly two heads.
(iv).Exactly three heads.
(v).Exactly four heads.
(c). (i).Represent the probability distribution of X in (b) above in a table form and use your table to answer the following.
(ii).Find the expected value of X.
(III). Find the standard deviation of X.
