To solve the problem of finding the probability that heads does not occur two or more times in a row when a fair coin is tossed 5 times, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Problem Let \( A_n \) be the number of valid sequences of heads (H) and tails (T) of length \( n \) such that no two heads are adjacent. ### Step 2: Base Cases We need to establish base cases for small values of \( n \): - For \( n = 1 \): The possible sequences are H and T. Thus, \( A_1 = 2 \). ...
