Detailed Solution

Let x denote the number of heads in the four tosses of the coin then probability distribution of x is

X01234
P(X=x)116143814116

Meanx¯=xi P(x=xi)

                =0+114+238+314+4116 =14+34+34+14 =84=2

Variance a2=xi-x2 P(x=xi)

                         =(0-2)2116+1-2214+2-2238+3-2214+4-22116 =14+14+0+14+14 =1
