What does the term event mean in math?
An event is an outcome or set of outcomes of an experiment. For example, if you want a coin to land on heads when you are flipping it, and it DOES land on heads, THAT is the event. If it lands on tails, that outcome is the complement
What is the probability of flipping heads?
50-50
If you alternate between flipping a coin and rolling a die what is the probability of rolling a 2 before flipping a heads?
The probability of rolling a 2 on a die before flipping a heads on a coin is 1 in 12. The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of flipping heads is 1 in 2. Since these are sequentially unrelated events, you simply multiply the probabilities together.
What are the odds of flipping a coin and getting heads?
.5 or 1/2
A coin is flipped three times what would the elements in the event of getting two heads be?
They are HHT HTH and THH
What is the event of getting heads flipping the coin once?
The event is that the coin lands with the Heads on top.
What does the term event mean in math?
An event is an outcome or set of outcomes of an experiment. For example, if you want a coin to land on heads when you are flipping it, and it DOES land on heads, THAT is the event. If it lands on tails, that outcome is the complement
What is the definition of mutually exhaustive events?
It means that two events cover the spectrum of possible events. For instance, with respect to flipping a coin, the event of getting heads and the event of getting tails are mutually exhaustive. There is not another outcome of events possible when flipping a coin.
What is the sample space when flipping a coin?
The sample space when flipping a coin is [heads, tails].
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
What is the probability of flipping heads?
50-50
What is the compound event of flipping a coin and rolling die 3 times?
define success and failure. Heads? or tails. What number or set of numbers do you want on the die? A compound event could be heads for the coin and all 3 die are less than 4.
What are complementary events in probability?
Complementary events are events that are the complete opposite. The compliment of event A is everything that is not event A. For example, the complementary event of flipping heads on a coin would be flipping tails. The complementary event of rolling a 1 or a 2 on a six-sided die would be rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6. (The probability of A compliment is equal to 1 minus the probability of A.)
The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting two heads is?
There are 8 permutations of flipping a coin 3 times, or of flipping 3 coins one time. They are, with the permutations of two heads bolded...TTTTTHTHTTHHHTTHTHHHTHHH... thus, the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 2 heads is 3 in 8, or 0.375.
What is the coin flipping record?
1 heads in a row
What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails?
The probabilty of you flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails is 0.125 or 1/8.
If you alternate between flipping a coin and rolling a die what is the probability of rolling a 2 before flipping a heads?
The probability of rolling a 2 on a die before flipping a heads on a coin is 1 in 12. The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of flipping heads is 1 in 2. Since these are sequentially unrelated events, you simply multiply the probabilities together.
