One face of a coin is painted green and the other face is painted blue. The coin is biased so that each time the coin is tossed, the probability that the blue face will be shown is 0.6. The coin is tossed three times. Let the random variable Y be the number of times the green face is shown. a) Find the probability distribution for Y .
