Suppose two coins are tossed and we are interested to determine the number of
heads that will come out. Let us use H to represent the number of heads that will
come out. Determine the values of the random variable H.
Try this!
Solutions:
STEP 2: Count the number of heads in each outcome and assign this number to this outcome.
Outcome Value of H
HH 2
HT 1
TH 1
TT 0
The values of random variable H in this experiment are 0,1,2. In symbol, 𝐻 = {0,1,2}
Try this!
A basket contains 10 ripe and 4 unripe bananas. If three bananas are taken
from the basket one after the other, determine the possible values of the
random variable R representing the number of ripe bananas.
Try this!
Solution:
STEP 1: List the sample space of the experiment. Let R represent the ripe
bananas and let U represent the unripe bananas.
