Clearly, it's a little unreasonable to write out the sample space for a 10-flip coin experiment. Whenmathematicians reach a point where the most basic approach isn't realistic, they look for patterns thatmight lead to a formula for the quantity they are trying to count or measure. Indeed, such a formulaexists and it's been programmed into many different online calculators. It is called the binomialprobability formula because it calculates probabilities arising from random processes with only twooutcomes.:12t aoult r re:

Question

Step 1

Problems related to probability of events when 10 coins are tossed (flipped) , independently

Step 2

a) We may represent each of the 10 tosses by H (head) orT (tail). So each experiment can be described as a sequence of H or T (randomly) of length 10. So the total number of outcomes is 2^10=1024. (as each of the 10 places can be filled in 2 ways )

Step 3

(b) Denote the probability of Head as c; then the probability of 0-heads in a 10 -f...
