Naturally, all the applicants answer "No," but the polygraph identifies some of those answers as lies, making the p ...

... • the total number of heads (which is 0, 1, 2, or 3). This experiment is a little hypothetical—hence the subjunctive voice. If we actually did it and got “head tail head,” the observed value of our first random variable—the number of heads on the first toss—would be 1; the observed value of the othe ...
