Find the probability that when a fair coin is flipped four times at least 2 heads
1 answer:
Since the problem states "at least" we need to also find probability of 3 H or 4 H or 5 H
Now find the probability of flipping a head 4 times;
⁴
= (1/16)
Now probability of flipping a head 3 times: (4C3)(1/2)⁴ = 4/16
Probability of flipping a head 2 times; (4C2)(1/2)⁴=6/16
(1/16)+(4/16)+(6/16)=11/16
Probability of flipping a fair coin 4 times with at least 2 heads is 11/16.
Hope I helped :)

The quadrant that the graph will not go through is the second quadrant.
The reason is that the slope is positive and there was a translation 6 units down
<h3>How to know the quadrant the graph will not pass</h3>The quadrants are named in anticlockwise direction starting from the first which has x - positive and y - positive
The graph of y = 2x/3 is a graph with positive slope, moving through the third and first quadrant.
y = 2x/3 - 6 means a translation 6 units down and this pushed the line to get to the fourth quadrant
Hence the remaining quadrant that is untouched is the second quadrant
The graph is attached
