A coin is flipped. If a heads is flipped, then the coin is flipped 4 more times and the number of heads flipped is noted; otherwise (i.e., a tails is flipped on the initial flip), then the coin is flipped 2 more times and the result of each flip (i.e., heads or tails) is noted successively. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?

An unfair coin is made so that heads is seven times as likely to come up as tails when the coin is flipped. An experiment consists of flipping this coin just once What weight (or probability) does the outcome 'heads' have? What weight (or probability) does the outcome 'tails' have? Enter your answers as whole numbers or fractions in lowest terms. An experiment has sample space S={a,b,c,d,e}. Outcomes b,c,d,e are equally likely while the likelihood of outcome a is Wa=7/19...

You select a coin at random: 2/3 of the coins are unfair, 1/3 of the coins are fair. The fair coins are equally likely to flip heads or tails. The unfair coins flip heads 3/4 of the times, and tails 1/4 of the times. You flip the selected coin and get heads or tails. Find (1) the probability that the selected coin is fair given the flip is heads, (2) the probability that the selected coin is fair given the...

When coin 1 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability   3 5  ; when coin 2 is flipped it lands on heads with probability   4 5  . (a) If coin 1 is flipped 11 times, find the probability that it lands on heads at least 9 times. (b) If one of the coins is randomly selected and flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it lands on heads exactly 7 times? (c) In part (b), given that the...
