A coin is tossed 4 times. Let E1 be the event "the first toss shows heads" and E2 the event "the second toss shows heads" and so

on. That is, Ei is the event that the "i"th toss shows up heads.
A. Are the events e e and f f independent?
B. Find the probability of showing heads on both toss.

Answer:

The events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, as each toss can result in two outcomes we assume that the events are equally likely.

Two events are independent in the sample space if the probability of one event occurs, is not affected by whether the other event has or has not occurred.

In general the k events are defined to be mutually independent if and only if the probability of the intersection of  any 2,3,--------, k  equals the product of their respective probabilities.

P (A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

P (A∩B)   = 1/2. 1/2= 1/4

                                                                  Head          Tail

 P(E1)= 1/2  ----------          Coin 1               H,H              T,H

                                                                1/4                  1/4

  P(E2)= 1/2  ---------------  Coin 2             H, H               H,T

                                                                      1/4           1/4

So the events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, out of which eight will have heads on both toss.

Or in other words ( 1/4* 1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2

How is 1 over 9 a rational number?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Because 1/9 is a fraction with integers meaning it is a fraction with whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number that can be written as a fraction with integers is called a rational number. For example, 17 and −34 are rational numbers. (Note that there is more than one way to write the same rational number as a ratio of integers. For example, 17 and 214 represent the same rational number.)

Hope this helps
