An unbiased normal coin is tossed n times. Let
`E_(1):` event that both heads and tails are present in n tosses.
`E_(2):` event that the coin shows up heads at most once.
The value of n for which `E_(1) and E_(2)` are independent is ______.

Correct Answer - 3
`P(E_(1))=1-[P ("all heads)=P(all tails")]`
`=1-[(1)/(2^(n))+(1)/(2^(n))]=1-(1)/(2^(n-1))`
`P(E_(2))=["P(no head)+P (exactly one head)"]`
`=(1)/(2^(n))+""^(n)C_(1)xx(1)/(2^(n-1))=(n)/(2^(n))`
If `E_(1) and E_(2)` are independent, then
`(n)/(2^(n))(1-(1)/(2^(n-1)))((n+1)/(2^(n)))`
`orn =(1-(1)/(2^(n-1)))(n+1)`
`or n=n+1-(n+1)/(2^(n-1))`
`or n+1=2^(n-1)`
`or n=3`

Let X represent the difference between a number of heads and the number of tails when a coin is tossed 6 times.

When a coin is tossed 6 times, the number of heads can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  The corresponding number of tails will be 6, 5, 4, 3,...

A coin is tossed three times, where (i) A : head on third toss,B: heads on first two tosses (ii) A: at least two heads, B : at most two heads (iii) A

If a coin is tossed three times, then the sample S is `S={HHH,HHT, HTH, HT T ,THH,THT, T TH, T T T }` `thereforen(S)=8.` (i) `A={HHH, HTH, THH, T TH]`...

A coin is tossed three times in succession. If `E` is the event that there are at least two heads and `F` is the event in which first throw is a head,

Correct Answer - `3//4` `P(E)=4/8=1/2{because"favorable cases are"THH, HTH, HHT, HHH]` `P(F)=4/8=1/2[because"favorable cases are"HTH, HHT,HT T, HHH]` `P(EnnF)=3/8` `P(E//F)=(P(EnnF))/(P( F))=(3//8)/(1//2)=3/4`

A coin is tossed three times. Event A: two heads appear Event B: last should be head Then identify whether events A and B are independent or not.

Correct Answer - Not independent `P(A)=3/8and P(B)=1/2` `P(A)P(B) =3/8xx1/2=3/16` `P(Annb)=2/8=1/4neP(A)P(B)` Hence, A and B aer not independent.

A fair die is tossed repeatedly. `A` wins if if is 1 or 2 on two consecutive tosses and `B` wins if it is 3,4,5 or 6 on two consecutive tosses. The pr

Correct Answer - B Let `P(S)=P(1 or 2)=1//3` `P(F)=P(3or4or5or6)=2//3` `P(A "wins")=P[(SS orSFSSorSFSFSSor..)or(FSSorFSFFSSor...)]` `=((1)/(9))/(1-(2)/(9))+((2)/(27))/(1-(2)/(9))` `= 1/9xx9/7+2/27xx9/7` `=1/7+2/21=(3+2)/(21)=5/21` P(A swining)`=5/21,` P(B winning)`=16/21`

A coin is tossed `2n` times. The chance that the number of times one gets head is not equal to the number of times one gets tails is `((2n !))/((n !)^

Correct Answer - C The required probability is 1- probability of getting equal number of heads and tails `=1-""^(2n)C_(n)((1)/(2))^(n)((1)/(2))^(2n-n)` `=1-((2n)!)/((n!)^(2))xx(1)/(4^(n))`

A fair coin is tossed 100 times. The probability of getting tails 1, 3, .., 49 times is `1//2` b. `1//4` c. `1//8` d. `1//16`

Correct Answer - B Let the probability of getting a tail in a single trial be `p=1//2.` The number of trials be n=100 and the number of trials in 100 trials...

A fair coin is flipped n times. Let E be the event "a head is obtained on the first flip" and let `F_(k)` be the event "exactly k heads are obtained".

Correct Answer - 2 Here `P(E)=1/2and P(F_(k))=""^(n)C_(k).(1)/(2^(n))` Also, `P(EnnF_(k))=p` (exactly k heads are obtained and head obtained in first filp) `=1/2""^(n-1)C_(k-1)((1)/(2))^(n-1)` Events E and `f_(k)` are independent. Therefore, `P(EnnF_(k))=P(E).P(F_(k))` `or ""^(n-1)C_(k-1)xx(1)/(2^(n))=1/2xx""^(n)C_(k)(1)/(2^(n))`...

Let `X` denote the number of times heads occur in `n` tosses of a fair coin. If `P(X=4), P(X=5) a n d P(X=6)` are in AP; the value of `n` is

Correct Answer - A::D `(a,d)` From the given condition, it follows that `"^(n)C_(4),^(n)C_(5)` and `.^(n)C_(6)` are in `A.P.` i.e., `2.^(n)C_(5)=^(n)C_(4)+^(n)C_(6)` `(2n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4))/(5!)` `=(n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3))/(4!)+(n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)(n-5))/(6!)` `implies(2(n-4))/(5)=1+((n-4)(n-5))/(5.6)` `impliesn^(2)-21n+98=0` `implies(n-7)(n-14)=0` `impliesn=7`, `n=14`
