A fair (unbiased) coin was tossed four times in succession and resulted in the following outcomes: i. Head, ii. Head, iii. Head, iv. Head. The probability of obtaining a 'Tail' when the coin is tossed again is
A
0
B
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
C
$$\frac{4}{5}$$
D
$$\frac{1}{5}$$
Correct Answer:
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
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
1\/3
B
2\/3
C
2\/5
D
4\/15

Which of the following statements are true?
1. The classical approach to probability theory requires that the total number of possible outcomes be known or calculated and that each of the outcomes be equally likely.
2. A marginal probability is also known as unconditional probability.
3. For three independent events, the joint probability of the three events, P (ABC) = P (A) × P (B/A) × P (C/AB)
4. Two events are mutually exclusive, exhaustive and equally likely, the probability of either event A or B or both occurring P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
A
Both 1 and 3
B
Both 3 and 4
C
1, 2 and 4
D
All of the above

1/2
C
7/8
D
None of these
