Let \(X\) be a random variable such that \(X(x)\) is the number of heads in \(X\) for each \(x \in \mathbf{S}\), where \(S\) is the sample space of random experiment of tossing three fair coins simultaneously. Find the value of \(\rho\left(X^{-1}(2)\right)\).

  1. A \(\frac{3}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tossing of three coins So, \(\rho\left(X^{-1}(2)\right)\) means probability of getting two tails when three coins are tossed. \(\Rightarrow \quad \rho\left(X^{-1}(2)\right)=\frac{3}{8}\)
