D
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
A coin is tossed twice if the coin shows head it is tossed again but if it shows a tail then a die is tossed. If 8 possible outcomes are equally likely. Find the probability that the die shows a number greater than 4, if it is known that the first throw of the coin results in a tail

A fair coin is tossed 10 times. What is the probability that ONLY the first two tosses will yield heads?
A
$${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2}$$
B
$${}^{10}{{\text{C}}_2}{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2}$$
C
$${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{10}}$$
D
$${}^{10}{{\text{C}}_2}{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{10}}$$
Simplify the value of $$\frac{{{\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9 + 0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2 + 0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - {\text{3}} \times 0.9 \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}}}}{{{\text{0}}{\text{.9}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.9 + 0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2 + 0}}{\text{.3}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - 0.9 \times {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} - {\text{0}}{\text{.2}} \times {\text{0}}{\text{.3}} - 0.3 \times 0.9}} = ?$$
