You will receive a prize if both a fair coin lands "heads" AND a fair die lands "6". After the coin is flipped and the die is rolled you ask if AT LEAST ONE of these events has occurred and you are told "yes."
Use an event tree to help calculate the probability of winning the prize

You will receive a prize if both a fair coin lands "heads" AND a fair die lands "6". After the coin is flipped and the die is rolled you ask if AT LEAST ONE of these events has occurred and you are told "yes." Formally calculate the probability of you winning the prize, whilst answering these questions in each step of your answer i. Specify the joint distribution, ?(?,?,?,?), in terms of its constituent conditional distributions ii. Specify the full...
when coin 2 is flipped it lands on heads with When coin 1 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability probability (a) If coin 1 is flipped 12 times, find the probability that it lands on heads at least 10 times. (b) If one of the coins is randomly selected and flipped 9 times, what is the probability that it lands on heads exactly 6 times? (c) In part (b), given that the first of these 9 flips lands...
18. A fair coin is flipped multiple times until it lands on heads. If the probability of landing on ( point) heads is 50%, what is the probability of first landing on heads on the fourth attempt? 00.625 0.500 00.412 00.382
7. A fair coin is flipped multiple times until it lands on heads. If the probability of landing on ( point) heads is 50%, what is the probability of first landing on heads on the third attempt? ○ 0,096 0.107 o 0.121 00.125
You have 2 fair coins and one coin with heads on both sides. You pick a coin at random and toss it twice. If it lands heads up on both tosses, the probability it also lands heads up on a third toss can be express in the form A/B, where A and B are relatively prime positive integers (i.e. the greatest common divisor is 1). Compute A + B.
3. A fair coin is tossed, and a fair six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability that the coin come up heads and the die will come up 1 or 2? A. 1/2 B. 1/4 C. 1/6 E. 1/3
6. A fair coin is flipped repeatedly until 50 heads are observed. What is the probability that at least 80 flips are necessary? (You may calculate an approximate answer.)
Suppose you have two coins. One coin is fair and other is a coin with heads on both sides. Now you choose a coin at random and flip the coin. If the coin lands head, what is the probability that it was the fair coin?
Suppose that a fair coin is tossed ten times. Each time it lands heads you win a dollar, and each time it lands tails you lose a dollar. Calculate the probability that your total winnings at the end of this game total two dollars, and the probability that your total winnings total negative two dollars.
Stacy and George are playing the heads or tails game with a fair coin. The coin is flipped repeatedly until either the fifth heads or the fifth tails appears. If the fifth heads occurs first, Stacy wins the game. Otherwise, George is the winner. Suppose that after the fifth flip, three heads and two tails have occurred. What is the probability that Stacy wins this game?
