Question

Here are the records of two different sequences (A,B ) of a coin tossed eight times. A: T H H H H H H H B: H T T H T H H T If you know for sure that the coin is fair, are these two sequences equally probable outcomes or, if they are not, which sequences is more probable than the other?"

Answer 1

Answer: Sequence B is more probable than A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This two sequences are not equally probable. Sequence B is more probable than A due to the equal chances of getting head (H) and a tail (T). The probability of getting a head is equal to the probability of getting a tail which is 4/8 i.e 0.5

The sequence A is less probable because the head(H) occur more than tail (T). The probability of head occurring is almost a sure event i.e 1 which is not feasible.
