Question

Determine the probability of landing on tails at most 33 times if you flip a fair coin 80 times. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0728177272

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of flips = 80

Probability of landing on tail at most 33 times ;

Probability of landing on tail on any given flip = 1 / 2 = 0.5

This a binomial probability problem:

Hence ;

P(x ≤ 33) = p(x=0) + p(x=1) +... + p(x = 33)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(x ≤ 33) = 0.0728177272
