P and S

The document discusses probability calculations for a variety of scenarios involving coin flips, sampling with replacement, and counting favorable outcomes. Formulas for geometric series and binomial coefficients are used. Probabilities are calculated for specific examples and range from 1/1260 to 2/3.

If required tosse
s is odd the possible sequence of heads and tails will be:
H, TTH, TTTTH, TTTTTT H, ...............
Since, these events are mutually exclusive, we can add the prob. of each event.
Thus, the required prob. is given by
P=1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2+…………………..
This is a geometric series with a=1/2,r=1/4
1/2
P=1−1/4 =2/3

4. Total number of cause = 36


Total number of favorable causes = 5+ 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Then probability= 15/36=5/12

5.4C4 (1/2)4 + 4C3 (1/2)3(1/2)


6. Number of elements in sample space is 210, only one element {H,H,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T} is event. thus
probability is 1/210
