We tossed three balanced coins and listed the events as:

Event A: tail appears on the second coin.

Event B: all three coins have the same outcome.

------ Are events A and B independent?

Show the detail probability calculation to proof whether events A and B are independent or not?

Suppose that we have a box that contains two coins: A fair coin: ?(?)=?(?)=0.5 . A two-headed coin: ?(?)=1 . A coin is chosen at random from the box, i.e. either coin is chosen with probability 1/2 , and tossed twice. Conditioned on the identity of the coin, the two tosses are independent. Define the following events: Event ? : first coin toss is ? . Event ? : second coin toss is ? . Event ? : two coin...

Problem Page Question A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Outcomes Probability HHT...

A coin is tossed repeatedly; on each toss, a head is shown with probability p or a tail with probability 1 − p. All tosses are independent. Let E denote the event that the first run of r successive heads occurs earlier than the first run of s successive tails. Let A denote the outcome of the first toss. Show that P(E|A=head)=pr−1 +(1−pr−1)P(E|A=tail). Find a similar expression for P (E | A = tail) and then find P (E).

We are given three coins: one has heads in both faces, the second has tails in both faces, and the third has a head in one face and a tail in the other. We choose a coin at random, toss it, and the result is heads. What is the probability that the opposite face is tails?
