Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct notation for the event that the total number of tails is exactly three is $\{ X = 3 \}$, where X is the random variable representing the total number of tails.

Use Random-Variable Notation to Represent the Event {X≥3}\{ X \geq 3 \}{X≥3}

Use Random-Variable Notation to Represent the Event $\{ X \geq 3 \}$
