Whitney D. asked • 05/16/18 A fair coin is tossed 5 times. What is the probability of getting at least three heads on consecutive tosses?
An experiment consists of tossing 5 fair (not weighted) coins
Let, H be the head and T be the tail, then total number of outcomes or Sample space will be n(S) = {HHHHH, HHHHT, HHHTH, HHTHH, HTHHH, THHHH} = 6 Number of favourable outcomes or n(E) = {HHHHT, HTHHH, HHTHH, HHHTH, HHHHT} = 5 (Here, you can see that we have 4 …

2019年12月3日 · Similarly, for P(H=4) we have all combinations with four heads and one tail, which gives us five combinations: THHHH, HTHHH, HHTHH, HHHTH, HHHHT. So P(H=4) = 5 / 32. Now we have P(H=2) and P(H=3) to calculate.
hSuppose you flip a coin and keep a record of the results. In

toss 5 fair coins and let X equal the number of heads observed.
2015年5月1日 · The sample points would be all combinations of Heads or Tails for 5 coins, so there are 2 5 possible outcome for the set of heads and tails, { (HHHHH), (HHHHT)...(TTTTT)} For this question, X is the number of heads, which means there could be
