An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple of “heads” (h) and tails (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below. A) Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px. First, fill in the first row with the values X. Then fill in the appropriate probability in the second row.

An electrochemical engineer has manufactured a new type of fuel cell (a type of battery)which has to undergo testing to prove its duration: the time it takes to go from fullycharged to completely uncharged, under a fixed nominal load. From the computational simulation models she has, the variance of the duration is σ2 = 4 h2 (hours squared)but she wants to estimate the mean duration time μ. To achieve this she is determinedto do the tests multiple times in independent but identical conditions. Can you findwhat is the smallest number of these tests that she has to do in order for her estimatedmean duration to be within ±0.2 h tolerance of the true mean with 95% certainty
