Suppose we flip a coin n = 100 times, and let N count the number of heads. - If the coin comes up heads on a flip with probability p = 0.4, what is \Var(N)? What if n = 80 and p = 0.6? What if n = 200 and p = 0.5? + If the coin comes up heads on a flip with probability p = 0.3, what is \Var(N)? What if n = 80 and p = 0.6? What if n = 200 and p = 0.5?
