Question

An experiment consists of tossing an unfair coin (48% chance of landing on heads) a specified number of times and recording the outcomes.
a. What is the probability that the first head will occur on the second trial?
b. Does the probability change if we toss the coin three times? What if we toss the coin four times?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.52 × 0.48 = 0.2496 or 24.96%

b) No the probability of getting heads or tails remains the same as each outcome is mutually independent than previous outcome
