- We throw a coin until a head turns up for the second time, where p is the probability that a throw results in a head and we assume that the outcome of each throw is independent of the previous outcomes. Let X be the number of times we have thrown the coin. a. Determine P(X = 2), P(X = 3), and P(X = 4). b.
