5 Nikita has three coins. One coin is fair, one coin is biased so that the probability of obtaining a head is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 }\) and the third coin is biased so that the probability of obtaining a head is \(\frac { 1 } { 5 }\). The random variable \(X\) is the number of heads that Nikita obtains when he throws all three coins at the same time.
- Find the probability generating function of \(X\).
Rajesh has two fair six-sided dice with faces labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The random variable \(Y\) is the number of 4 s that Rajesh obtains when he throws the two dice.
The random variable \(Z\) is the sum of the number of heads obtained by Nikita and the number of 4 s obtained by Rajesh. - Find the probability generating function of \(Z\), expressing your answer as a polynomial.
