The probability of the coin landing "head" side up is 50/50, meaning it could land "head" side up or "tail" side up. The odds of any single coin flip are always the same, no matter what happened on the previous tosses -- provided the coin is not a "double-head" (or "double-tail") "trick" coin
Since each event is independent, the probability remains at 0.5.
If you toss a coin 10 times and count 58 heads, you know the coin is NOT fair.
The odds are 50/50. A tossed coin does not have a memory.
No. Each flip of each coin is an independent event. The flip of the quarter has no effect on the flip of the penny and vice versa. Also, the previous flip of either coin has no effect on the next flip.
If 1% of the bolts are defective, then the probability is that close to 2 bolts will be defective if there are 175 bolts. The actual probability is that 1.75 bolts will be defective, but you can not have 3/4 of a bolt. However you know there are going to be runs when you have no errors and runs when you have several error. You would need to make 300 bolts in order to have a run of 125 with no errors to have 3 defective bolts in a run of 1.75 bolts. Likewise, you would need to make a minimum of 600 bolts to have six defective bolts in 1.75 bolts. Then you would have 425 good bolts. However, you are dealing with probabilities, not with getting the machinery started the first thing in the morning. Since there is a 1% error rate, you must assume this is a random rate. It occurs like dice or a coin flip. With the last coin tossed, you have no idea what the next coin flip will be. It is not like the next coin flip will be the opposite. Using the Monte Carlo method, I got .29%. Good luck
If it is a fair coin then the probability is 0.5
If it is a fair coin, the probability is exactly 50%. The coin has no memory of what it did in the last flip. ■
50%.
The probability of a fair coin landing heads up is always 0.5, regardless of previous outcomes. Each coin flip is an independent event, so the outcome of the previous flips does not affect the outcome of the next flip. Therefore, the probability of the coin landing heads up on the next flip is still 0.5.
Coin tosses are independent events. The probability of a head remains 1/2
Since each event is independent, the probability remains at 0.5.
If you toss a coin 10 times and count 58 heads, you know the coin is NOT fair.
The odds are 50/50. A tossed coin does not have a memory.
The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%. If you have already tossed a coin and had it land on tails, the probability that it will land on tails again the next time you toss it is 50%.
If you have tossed a fair, balanced coin 100 times and it has landed on HEADS 100 consecutive times, the probability of tossing HEADS on the next toss is 50%.
No. Each flip of each coin is an independent event. The flip of the quarter has no effect on the flip of the penny and vice versa. Also, the previous flip of either coin has no effect on the next flip.
It is 1/2.
