What is the likelihood that a fair coin will land heads or tails?

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 0.5.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If we have a fair coin then it means that it has a 50 % chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up.

A fair coin is one which has two sides: head and tail.

Since their are two sides to each fair coin, so the probability of landing for each of the side should add up to 1 (which is the total probability).

Therefore, likelihood that a fair coin will land heads or tails is 0.5.

Answer:

I believe it is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you flip a normal coin (called a “fair” coin in probability parlance), you normally have no way to predict whether it will come up heads or tails. Both outcomes are equally likely. There is one bit of uncertainty; the probability of a head, written p(h), is 0.5 and the probability of a tail (p(t)) is 0.5. The sum of the probabilities of all the possible outcomes adds up to 1.0, the number of bits of uncertainty we had about the outcome before the flip. Since exactly one of the four outcomes has to happen, the sum of the probabilities for the four possibilities has to be 1.0. To relate this to information theory, this is like saying there is one bit of uncertainty about which of the four outcomes will happen before each pair of coin flips. And since each combination is equally likely, the probability of each outcome is 1/4 = 0.25. Assuming the coin is fair (has the same probability of heads and tails), the chance of guessing correctly is 50%, so you'd expect half the guesses to be correct and half to be wrong. So, if we ask the subject to guess heads or tails for each of 100 coin flips, we'd expect about 50 of the guesses to be correct. Suppose a new subject walks into the lab and manages to guess heads or tails correctly for 60 out of 100 tosses. Evidence of precognition, or perhaps the subject's possessing a telekinetic power which causes the coin to land with the guessed face up? Well,…no. In all likelihood, we've observed nothing more than good luck. The probability of 60 correct guesses out of 100 is about 2.8%, which means that if we do a large number of experiments flipping 100 coins, about every 35 experiments we can expect a score of 60 or better, purely due to chance.

Selling Price is $2,640 and the Loss is $196. Find the Cost Price.​
myrzilka [38]
If I am correct, it should be $2,736.


if this is a re-sell, then you would have to add the loss to the selling price to get the original cost.

loss means how much was lost in profit, so whenever you see that make sure to add it to whatever is applicable, like in this case, $2,640.

Express the confidence interval (0.036, 0.086) in the form of p-e&lt; p
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

p-e< p < p+e

(0.061 - 0.025) < 0.061 < (0.061 + 0.025)

0.036 < 0.061 < 0.086

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Confidence interval CI = (a,b) = (0.036, 0.086)

Lower bound a = 0.036

Upper bound b = 0.086

To express in the form;

p-e< p < p+e

Where;

p = mean Proportion

and

e = margin of error

The mean p =( lower bound + higher bound)/2

p = (a+b)/2

Substituting the values;

p = (0.036+0.086)/2

Mean Proportion p = 0.061

The margin of error e = (b-a)/2

Substituting the given values;

e = (0.086-0.036)/2

e = 0.025

Re-writing in the stated form, with p = 0.061 and e = 0.025

p-e< p < p+e

(0.061 - 0.025) < 0.061 < (0.061 + 0.025)

0.036 < 0.061 < 0.086
