If you toss three coins 100,000 times, how many times do you expect to see exactly one head come up? A ..12,500 B ..37,500 C..3,750 D.. 50,000

OpenStudy (mathmate):

hint: Sample space is 8.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

oh mathmate already gave u hint..sorry :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So whats the anwser A B C D

OpenStudy (zarkon):

3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

my bad.. yea \[3 \over 8\] sorry zarkon

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

\[{ 3 \over 8 } \times 10,000\]

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

is your asnwer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i figure that out?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you need one more zero ;)

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

ok the probability of getting exactly 1 head is\[ 3 \over 8\].. u can get that by checking the sample space of this event

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

oh my bad :( -_- . i must go to sleep @Zarkon :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im new at this i have no clue what u mean by checking sample space. cant you jus give me the anwser? so then i can figure it out lol

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):
