Concept:

Binomial Distribution: 

If ‘n’ and ‘p’ are the parameters, then ‘n’ denotes the total number of times the experiment is conducted and ‘p’ denotes the probability of the happening of the event.

The probability of getting exactly ‘k’ successes in ‘n’ independent trials for a Random Variable X is expressed as P(X = k) and is given by the formula:

P(X = k) = nCk pk (1 - p)n - k

Calculation:

The probability of getting a head in a single toss is p = \(\frac12\).

∴ The probability of getting 2 heads in 6 tosses, will be:

P(X = 2) = 6C2\(\left(\frac12\right)^2\)\(\left(1-\frac12\right)^{6-2}\)

\(\frac{15}{64}\).

Three flips of a fair coin

Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up.

2022. 1. 17.Probability of getting one head = 1/2. Here, tossing a coin is an independent event, its not dependent on how many times it has been tossed.

In our case, n = 5, p = 1 / 2, and k = 1. The probability of getting head exactly 5 times in 8 throws is 8C 5( 21) 8= 2 856= 327. Why the probability is 1/2 ...

So if you flip a coin 10 times in a row-- a fair coin-- you're probability of getting at least 1 heads in that 10 flips is pretty high. It's 1,023 over 1,024.

In this task you can use the rule called Bernoulli's Scheme.

In this scheme you repeat an experiment which can end with one of 2 results (usually called a success and a failure) and want to calculate the probability of getting exactly #k# "success" results.

The probability can be calculated as:

#P(S_k)=((n),(k))p^k(1-p)^(n-k)#, where:

#n# is a total number of experiments
#k# is an expected number of successes
#p# is the probability of a success

The first task can be simply solved by calculating the probability of 2 successes:

A "success" is "tossing heads in a single toss"
A "failure" is "tossing tails in a single toss"

The probability of a success is #1/2#

The number of all experiments is #n=6#

The number of successes is #k=2#

#P(S_2)=((6),(2))(1/2)^2(1/2)^(4)=((6),(2))*(1/2)^6=(6!)/(4!*2!)(1/64)=15/64#

In the second part you have to calculate #P(S_2)+P(S_1)+P(S_0)#

#P(S_0)+P(S_1)+P(S_2)=#

#((6),(0))(1/2)^6+((6),(1))(1/2)^6+((6),(2))(1/2)^6=#

#1*1/64+6*1/64+15*1/64=22/64=11/32#

How many ways can a toss of 6 coins result in 2 heads and 4 tails?

Here, the number of ways is 6C2 = 15. There are 15 cases.

When a coin is tossed 6 times what is the probability of getting 4 heads?

What is the probability of obtaining four or more heads? ( 3) Sol.: Let x= number of heads p= probability of getting head p=21∴q=1−p=1−21=21 Given n=6.

What is the probability of 2 heads in 6 coin tosses?

The probability of getting exactly 2 heads is: 1 3.

When 6 coins are tossed together then what is the probability of getting minimum 4 tails?

Detailed Solution. ∴ The probability of getting exactly 4 tails when 6 unbiased coins are tossed is 15/64.
