Reference no: EM1319531

Consider the probability experiment of flipping a fair coin 6 times. Let X be the number of heads. The probability distribution is given in the following table:

X	P(X)	Frequency (f)
0	0.016	1
1	0.094	6
2	0.234	15
3	0.313	20
4	0.234	15
5	0.094	6
6	0.016	1

a. Draw the histogram.

b. Calculate the population mean and population standard deviation.

c. What is the probability of flipping a coin 6 times and getting exactly 3 heads?

d. What is the probability of flipping a coin 6 times and getting 4 or more heads?
