Discrete Probability Distributions Worksheet
1. You flip four coins. Let X, the random variable, be the number of heads on all four
coins.
a. List the sample space for the experiment.
Answer: S= {HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HHTT, HTHH, HTHT, HTTH, HTTT, THHH,
THHT, THTH, THTT, TTHH, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT}
b. What are the possible values for x?
Answer: Possible values of X= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
c. Is the random variable, x, continuous or discrete?
Answer: Discrete
d. Construct a probability distribution for this experiment.
Answer:
2. Determine if the following are probability distributions (if no, state why).
a. X 3 6 9 12 15
P(X) 4/10 2/10 1/10 1/10 1/10
b. X 1 2 3 4 5
P(X) 3/15 1/15 1/15 4/15 6/15
c. X 20 30 40 50
P(X) 1.1 0.2 0.9 0.3
