(a) When you toss an unbiased coin five times, what is the probability that you will obtain exactly 3 heads, and 2 tails?
(b) In (a), what is the probability that you will obtain exactly 3 heads, and 2 tails, in that order?
(c) When you spin an unbiased die, there are six possible outcomes. What is the probability that you spin an unbiased die once, and you get both a 2, and a 6? What is the probability that in one spin, you get a 2, or a 6? What laws of probability holds true in this case?
a)here as 3 heads and 2 tails can be arranged =(5!/(3!*2!)) orders and each outcome has probability =1/2
therefore P(getting 3 heads and 2 tails) =(5!/(3!*2!))*(1/2)5 =5/16
b)
as there is only one possible order and each outcome has probability =1/2
therefore P(3 heads and 2 tails in this order)=(1/2)5=1/32
c)
P(getting a 2 and a 6 on one spin) =0 (as there can be only one outcome possible on one spin; therfore both 2 and 6 can not appear at the same time as they are mutually exclusive events)
P(getting a 2 or 6) =P(getting a 2)+P(getting a 6)=(1/6)+(1/6)=1/3
here addition rule of probability is applicable (for 2 mutually exclusive events)

1. You roll a die and toss a coin. What is the probability of seeing tails and a 3? 2. You roll a die and toss a coin. What is the probability of seeing a tails or a 3?
You toss a fair coin 4 times. What is the probability that (round to 4 decimal places) a) you get all Tails? b) you get at least one Head?
Answer part a and part b please!!! (a) What is the conditional probability that exactly four Tails appear w when a fair coin is flipped six times, given that the first flip came up Heads? (I.e. the coin , then is flipped five more times with Tails appearing exactly lour times.) (b) What if the coin is biased so that the probability of landing Heads is 1/3? (Hint: The binomial distribution might be helpful here.) (a) What is the conditional...
If you toss a fair coin 4 times, what is the probability that you get at least one tails result? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
On a single toss of a fair coin, the probability of heads is 0.5 and the probability of tails is 0.5. If you toss a coin twice and get heads on the first toss, are you guaranteed to get tails on the second toss? Explain.Explain why – 0.41 cannot be the probability of some event.Explain why 1.21 cannot be the probability of some event.Explain why 120% cannot be the probability of some event.Can the number 0.56 be the probability of...
A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...
Suppose we toss a weighted coin, for which the probability of getting a head (H) is 60% i) If we toss this coin 3 times, then the probability of getting exactly two heads (to two decimal places) is Number ii) If we toss this coin 6 times, then the probability of getting exactly four heads (to two decimal places) is Number CI iii) if we toss this coin 8 times, then the probability of getting 6 or more heads (to...
You toss a fair coin four times in a row. What is the probability of getting four tails?
You toss a coin 1000 times The probability that a coin comes up heads 12 times in 12 tosses is
12. Coin Toss Simulator Write a class named Coin. The Coin class should have the following field .A String named sideUp. The sideUp field will hold either "heads" or "tails" indicating the side of the coin that is facing up The Coin class should have the following methods .A no-arg constructor that randomly determines the side of the coin that is facing up (heads" or "tails") and initializes the aideUp field accordingly .A void method named toss that simulates the...
