Step 1: Identify the distribution parameters.
Let XX be the number of times the coin lands on its tail. This is a binomial distribution with n=150n=150 trials and probability of success (landing on tail) p=35p=\frac{3}{5}.
The mean of a binomial distribution is μ=np\mu = np.
The variance of a binomial distribution is σ2=np(1−p)\sigma^2 = np(1-p).

Calculate the mean and variance:

μ=150×35=30×3=90\mu = 150 \times \frac{3}{5} = 30 \times 3 = 90
