A coin is tossed 5 times. What is the probability that head appears an even number of times?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the probability that a head appears an even number of times when a coin is tossed 5 times, we can use the binomial distribution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the parameters of the binomial distribution**: - Let \( n \) be the number of trials (coin tosses). Here, \( n = 5 \). - Let \( p \) be the probability of success (getting a head in one toss). Since the coin is fair, \( p = \frac{1}{2} \). - The probability of failure (getting a tail) is \( q = 1 - p = \frac{1}{2} \). ...
