What is the probability of obtaining tails and a three?
Assume the given event depicts flipping a fair coin and rolling a fair die. The probability of obtaining a tail is ½, and the probability of obtaining a 3 in a die is 1/6. Then, the probability of encountering these events is (½)(1/6) = 1/12.
What is the probability that you get three tails given that you get at least two tails if ou flip three coins?
1/4
What is the probability of obtaining exactly two heads in three flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
The probability of obtaining exactly two heads in three flips of a coin is 0.5x0.5x0.5 (for the probabilities) x3 (for the number of ways it could happen). This is 0.375. However, we are told that at least one is a head, so the probability that we got 3 tails was impossible. This probability is 0.53 or 0.125. To deduct this we need to divide the probability we have by 1-0.125 0.375/(1-0.125) = approximately 0.4286
What is the probability of obtaining three heads?
Probably 3/4
What is the probability of obtaining tails or a six?
The answer depends on the experiment: how many coins are tossed, how often, how many dice are rolled, how often.
