We have four fair coins, each of which has probability 1/2 of having a heads outcome...
Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probability 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which alwavs flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin. (a) What is the...
The probability of getting heads from throwing a fair coin is 1/2 The fair coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability that exactly 3 heads occur? 1/4 The fair coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability that exactly 3 heads occur given that the first outcome was a head? 3/8 The fair coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability that exactly 3 heads occur given that the first outcome was a tail? 1/8 The...
2. Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probabilty 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which always flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin (a) What is...
Two coins are tossed, find the probability that two heads are obtained.Note: Each coin has two possible outcome H(heads), and T (tails).
a bag contains one fair coin, two two-headed coins, and three two-tailed coins. each of the is flipped, but the outcomes of the fice coins are hidden from you, randomly. if the outcome you see is headsm, what is the probability that the fair coin (which may or may not be the coin that was shown to you) panded heads up?
We are given three coins. One has heads on both faces, the second has tails on both faces, and the third coin has a head on one face and a tail on the other face. We choose one coin at random, toss it, and observe that the result is heads. What is the probability that the opposite face is tails?
3. We are given three coins. One has heads on both faces, the second has tails on both faces, and the third coin has a head on one face and a tail on the other face. We choose one coin at random, toss it, and observe that the result is heads. What is the probability that the opposite face is tails?
Suppose that a coin is tossed three times. We assume that a coin is fair, so that the heads and tails are equally likely. Probability that two heads are obtained in three tosses given that at least one head is obtained in three tosses is ___________ Probability that that one head is obtained in three tosses given that at most one head is obtained in three tosses is ____________ at least one means one or more, at most one means...
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are flipping coins. Guildenstern has a bag with 100 coins in it. All of them are fair coins, except for 10 that each have heads on both sides and 2 that each have tails on both sides. Guildenstern reaches into the bag without looking, removes a randomly chosen coin, with each of the 100 coins equally likely, and flips it. Give exact answers expressed as simplified fractions. (a) What is the probability that it is one of...
if 5 fair coins flipped what is the probability of getting at least 2 heads and 2 tails given that there is at least 1 head and 1 tail?
