There are two coins, one with probability p1 of Heads and the other with probability p2 of Heads. One of the coins is randomly chosen (with equal probabilities for the two coins). It is then flipped n 2 times. Let X be the number of times it lands Heads.
(a) Find the PMF of X.
(b) What is the distribution of X if p1 = p2?
