The question as text

A fair tetrahedral die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. A coin is biased so that the probability of showing a head when thrown is 1 3. The die is thrown once and the number n that it lands on is noted. The biased coin is then thrown n times. So, for example, if the die lands on 3, the coin is thrown 3 times.
