4. Find the probability that at least 2 heads are taken. (at least 2 heads mean 2 or more) (3 points)
Solution: “at least 2 heads,” X ≥ 2.
P ( X ≥ 2) =
P ( X ≥ 2) =
P ( X ≥ 2) =
5. Find the probability that at most 1 head is taken. (at most 1 head means 1 or less) (3 points)
Solution: “at most 1 head,” X ≤ 1.
P( X ≤ 1) =
P( X ≤ 1) =
P( X ≤ 1) =
