Answer:
B. 6.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
For each time that the coin is tosse, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it comes up tails, or it does not. The probability of coming up tails on a toss is independent of any other toss. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Fair coin:
Equally as likely to come up heads or tails, so
Probability that the first tails comes up on the 4th flip of the coin?
0 tails during the first three, which is P(X = 0) when n = 3.
Tails in the fourth, with probability 0.5. So
0.0625 * 100 = 6.25%
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the correct answer is:
B. 6.3%
