    Considering all Sample Space, we gets
    {HH, HT, TH, TT}
    For at least one head, probability is 3/4
    P (at least one head) = 0.75

    We know that
    μ = ∑x.p(x)
    = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) × 1/6 = 1
    21 × 1/6 = 3.5

    Correct Option: C


    We know that
    μ = ∑x.p(x)
    = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) × 1/6 = 1
    21 × 1/6 = 3.5
