A spinner has

20

equally sized sections,

2

of which are yellow and

18

of which are green. The spinner is spun and, at the same time, a fair coin is tossed. What is the probability that the spinner lands on green and the coin toss is heads?

Answer #1

Given :-

  • A spinner with 20 outcomes, 2 yellow and 18 green
  • A fair coin with 2 outcomes, 1 head and 1 tail

When the spinner is spun then at the same time the coin is tossed. Both these events are independent of each other. (So, their probabilities will be multiplied)

We have to find the probability that the spinner lands on green and the coin is tossed to heads.

Probability that the spinner lands on green and the coin is tossed to heads = Probability that the spinner lands on green Probability that the coin is tossed to heads

A roulette wheel has 38 slots in which the ball can land. Two of the slots are green, 18 are red and 18 are black. The ball is equally likely to land in any slot. The roulette wheel is going to be spun twice and the outcomes of the two spins are independent. The probability that it never lands on green is 0.9474. 0.8947. 0.8975. 0.0526.

1a) An arcade booth at a county fair has a person pick a coin from two possible coins available and then toss it. If the coin chosen lands on heads, the person gets a prize. One coin is a fair coin and one coin is a biased coin (unfair) with only a 35% chance of getting a head. Assuming equally likely probability of picking either coin, what is the probability that the fair coin is the one chosen, given that...

An American roulette wheel contains 38 numbers: 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green. When the roulette wheel is spun, the ball is equally likely to land on any of the 38 numbers. Suppose that you bet $1 on red. If the ball lands on a red number, you win $1; otherwise you lose your $1. Let X be the amount you win on your $1 bet. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable X .

Suppose you have a spinner comprised of six equal spaces: a orange 1, a yellow 2, a green 3, a pink 4, a blue 5, and a purple 6. Consider an experiment that consists of randomly spinning the spinner twice. Draw a tree diagram that shows all of the possible outcomes of this experiment. That is, draw a tree diagram that illustrates all possible two spin outcomes. Count the number of paths that yield anything but green or pink on...

SAMPLE SPACE: {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} Activity 11.5-7 fc2: Your sample space from Activity 11.5-7 part "a" is only valid because the coin being "fair" makes each of the outcomes equally likely. If we imagine an "unfair" weighted coin designed to come up heads 80% of the time, the sample space no longer applies to calculating probability. Calculate the probability that this coin lands on heads at most 2 times. (Round to three decimal places)
