Construct the Discrete Probability Distribution

1. Let Z be the random variable denoting the number of heads when a coin is tossed five times.

S = {HHHHH, HHHHT, HHHTH, HHHTT, HHTHH, HHTHT, HHTTH, HHTTT, HTHHH,

HTHHT, HTHTH, HTHTT, HTTHH, HTTHT, HTTTH, HTTTT, THHHH, THHHT, THHTH,
THHTT, THTHH, THTHT, THTTH, THTTT, TTHHH, TTHHT, TTHTH, TTHTT, TTTHH,
TTTHT, TTTTH, TTTTT}

0 = 3.125% 2 = 31.25%
1 = 15.625% 3 = 31.25%
 4 = 15.625% 5 = 3.125%

2. A shipment of five computers contains that are slightly defective. If a retailer receives three of
these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N
for defective and non-defective computers, respectively. To each sample point, assign a value
x of the random variable X representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer
which are slightly defective.

S = {NNN, NND, NDN, NDD, DNN, DND, DDN, DDD}
