What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing? Result Frequency Two heads 57 Two tails 48 One head, one tail 95

OpenStudy (templeguy):

answer mine, I'll answer yours

OpenStudy (templeguy):

Can you answer this? What was the joke from 17:51 - 18:03 in this vid and why did she spray the air freshener https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhn5uobZAyQ?

OpenStudy (laurena):

what?

@Cal.lavender Help?

OpenStudy (cal.lavender):

The sample space has size 23=823=8 and consists of triples HHHHTTTTHHTTHHTTHTHTHTHT HHHHHTHTHHTTTHHTHTTTHTTT The events {0 heads}{1 head}={TTT},={HTT,THT,TTH}, {0 heads}={TTT},{1 head}={HTT,THT,TTH}, and I'll let you figure out the other two. The probabilities are, for example, P({1 head})=38. P({1 head})=38. This is called a binomial distribution, and the sizes of the events "got kk heads out of nn coin flips" are called binomial coefficients.

OpenStudy (laurena):

This is very confusing

OpenStudy (laurena):

Is there a way u can make it more simple?

OpenStudy (cal.lavender):

The outcomes you are looking for are either THH, HTH or HHT. Taking a look at for example THH: the possibility to toss T or H is 0.50.5. Thus the possibility to throw T and then H and then H is 12⋅12⋅12=1812⋅12⋅12=18. But since we have three ways to "achieve" the desired result, the possibility of throwing exactly tow heads in three tosses is 18+18+18=3818+18+18=38. If you continue you like this, you'll find that the possibilites of all possible outcomes (THH, TTH, TTT, HTT ...) add up to 1 indeed.

ohk......

OpenStudy (cal.lavender):

you got it? Hope i helped c:

OpenStudy (laurena):

kinda

OpenStudy (laurena):

but i still dont know how i would write it.

OpenStudy (laurena):

@Cal.lavender

OpenStudy (templeguy):

I'll tell you only if you answer mine right after

OpenStudy (laurena):

I went onto it but the video is so long and i can wait until it gets to 17

OpenStudy (templeguy):

You could skip ahead

OpenStudy (laurena):

it is taking to long

OpenStudy (templeguy):

Can't you just skip to the 17 part, which takes like two seconds

OpenStudy (laurena):

Nah its chilled, i woould just like someone to help me
