Solution

The question seems to be asking for the correct probability mass function of X, where X is a random variable representing the number of head runs (consecutive occurrence of at least two heads) when a biased coin with a probability of heads being 0.75 is tossed three times.

However, the question is not clear as it provides multiple options without specifying a clear question.

If you could clarify what exactly you need to know, I would be more than happy to help.
