If a fair coin is tossed 9 times, find the probability of (a) exactly six heads, (b) at least six heads, (c) at most six heads.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the probability of tossing a fair coin 9 times, we will use the binomial distribution formula. The formula for the probability of getting exactly \( r \) successes (heads in this case) in \( n \) trials (coin tosses) is given by: \[ P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} p^r (1-p)^{n-r} \] Where: - \( n \) = number of trials (coin tosses) = 9 ...
