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?

+ When n = 100 and p = 0.3, \Var(N) = 21. + When n = 80 and p = 0.6, \Var(N) = 19.2. + When n = 200 and p = 0.5, \Var(N) = 50. +
