Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T)  = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15  = 15/32

|\Omega|=2^5=32

1.

|A|=1\\P(A)=\dfrac{1}{32}=3.125\%

2.

|A|=1+5+10=16\\P(A)=\dfrac{16}{32}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Ratio equivalent to 1:6
krok68 [10]
There are many different ratios that are equivalent to 1:6. The way to get an equivalent ratio is to multiple the same integer by the numerator and denominator. So if you multiplied the top and bottom by 2, the ratio would not be 2:12, which is equivalent to 1:6.
