Question

A biased coin is flipped twice.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways that a tail lands once:-

Tail + head or

head + tail.

Prob(Tail on one throw) = 0.4

Prob(Head on one throw) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6.

Prob(Tail first then head) = 0.4 * 0.6 = 0.24

Head then tail has the same probability (0.6*0.4).

So the requred probability = 0.24 + 0.24

= 0.48.
