Can you help me please:

Suppose we have 10 biased coins such that the probability of showing head is 1/3. These 10 biased
coins are flipped. Suppose the outcomes are assumed independent. Let X be the number of heads
obtained. Find P(X = 4).

Expert Solution
Step 1: Understanding the problem

Sample size (n)=10

Probability of showing head (p)=1/3

Let X denotes the number of heads obtained

We have to find P(X=4)
