Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of heads in tossing three coins follows a binomial distribution B(n, p). \(n = 3\) (number of trials) \(p = \frac{1}{2}\) (probability of getting a head) Mean \(E[X] = np\) \(E[X] = 3 \times \frac{1}{2}\) \(E[X] = \frac{3}{2}\)
