Consider a game played by 10 prople in which each flips a fair coin at the same time. If all but one of the coins comes up the same, then the add persons wing (e.g., if there are nine tails and one head then person having lead wins.) If such a situation does not occur, the players flips again. Find the probability that game is settled on or after nth toss.

А game consists of tossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time. Deskhitha wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that she will lose the game.

A person plays a game of tossing a coin thrice. For each head, he is given by ₹ 2 by the organiser of the game and for each tail, he has to pay ₹ 1.50 to the organiser. Let X denote the amount gained or lost by the person. Show that X is a random variable and exhibit as a function of the sample space of the experiment.

A box contains N coins m of which are fair and the rest are biased. The probability of getting a head when a fair coin is tossed is 1/2, while it is 2/3 when a biased coin is tossed. A coin is drawn from the box at random and is tossed twice. The first time it shows head and the second time it shows tail. What is the probability that the coin drawn is fair?

Take a small stone. Hold it in your hand. We know that the force gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to acceleration due to gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in vacuum. For a freely falling object, the velocity on reaching the earth and the time taken for it can be calculated by using Newton's equations of motion. For free fall the initial velocity u=0 and the acceleration a=g . Thus, we can write the equations as v="gt",s=1/2"gt"^(2),v^(2)=2gs For calculating the motion of an object thrown upwards, acceleration is negative, i.e. in a direction opposite to the velocity and is taken to be -g. The magnitude of g is the same but the velocity of the object decreases due to -ve acceleration. The moon and the artificial satellites are moving only under the influence of the gravitational field of the earth. Thus they are in free fall. Which force acts on the stone in free fall after you release it?

The members of a chess club took part in a round robin competition in which each player plays with other once. All members scored the same number of points, except four juniors whose total score ere 17.5. How many members were there in the club? Assume that for each win a player scores 1 point, 1/2 for a draw, and zero for losing.
