Answer

$P(1\leq X\leq 9) = \frac{7}{8} $

Work Step by Step

number of heads = $\{ 0,1,2,3\}$ the square of the number of heads = $\{ 0^2,1^2,2^2,3^2\} = \{ 0,1,4,9\}$ X, P(X) 0 , $\frac{1}{8}$ 1 , $\frac{3}{8}$ 4 , $\frac{3}{8}$ 9 , $\frac{1}{8}$ Therefore: $P(1\leq X\leq 9) = P(1) + P(4) + P(9) = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7}{8} $
