Answer
You're pointing out a specific part of the calculation. Let's clarify.
The probability represents the probability of getting zero heads when tossing four fair coins.
There is only one way to get zero heads: TTTT (Tail, Tail, Tail, Tail).
Since there are total possible outcomes when tossing four coins, the probability of getting zero heads is .
So, is correct.
The term in the expectation calculation is the contribution of to the sum. This term simplifies to 0, but it uses the correct probability .
If were , it would mean it's impossible to get zero heads, which is not true for four coin tosses.
What else can I help with?
