1. A fair coin is tossed three times. A player wins $1 if the first toss is a head, but loses [1.5 $1 if the first toss is a tail. Similarly, the player wins $2 if the second toss is a head, +1.5 but loses $2 if the second toss is a tail, and wins or loses $3 according to the result of +2] the third toss. Let the random variable X be the total winnings after the three tosses (possibly a negative value if losses are incurred). a) Construct the probability mass function. b) Construct the cumulative distribution function. c) What is the variance of this random variable?
