We toss 3 coins 100,000 times. How many times do we expect to see "Exactly 1 Head" appearing? Answer 12,500 37,500 3,750 50,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D,50,000

OpenStudy (surryyy):

u sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 1 second k @JFraser @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

The chances of getting heads or tails is 50/50. So what's half of 100,000? @surryyy

OpenStudy (igreen):

@starrhazel123 Don't give out direct answers.

OpenStudy (surryyy):

50,000 is half of 100,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry am I right though

OpenStudy (woodrow73):

you're looking for a combination, not a permutation. So by finding how many different combinations there are, you can find the probability of 1 head 2 tails coming up. Note; that -heads-tails-tails and tails-heads-tails are only 1 combination, not 2.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so that's your answer. @surryyy

OpenStudy (surryyy):

ok Thnx.

OpenStudy (igreen):

@starrhazel123 You're correct, but you have to lead people to the answer and not give it to them.
