1 answer:

3 0

The probability of obtaining a head is 1/2.
The probability of obtaining a tail is 1/2.

The 4 tosses are independent events.
Therefore the probability of obtaining hhtt is
(1/2)⁴ = 1/16

Answer: 1/16

Emily flipped a coin 30 times the coin landed heads up nine times and tails up 21 times

lara [203]

Part A)
The coin landed on heads 9 times out of 30 flips, so the experimental probability is 9/30, which reduces to 3/10 probability.

Part B)
Theoretically a coin has a 1/2 probability of landing on heads each flip
