Q.A coin is biased so that the head is 3 times as likely to occur as tail. If the coin is tossed twice, find the probability distribution of number of tails.

For a discrete random variable $X$ with possible values $x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots$ occurring with probabilities $p_1, p_2, p_3, \ldots$, where $p_i = P[X = x_i]$, the rule that assigns each $x_i$ its probability $p_i$ is called the probability mass function of $X$, provided every $p_i \ge 0$ and the probabilities add up to 1, i.e. $\sum p_i = 1$. Listing the pairs $(x_i, p_i)$, often in a two-row table, gives the probability distribution of $X$. Every possible value must genuinely occur with positive probability, and because the values of $X$ between t …
