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?

Let p_n denote the probability of getting n heads, when a fair coinis tossed m times. If p_4, p_5, p_6 are in AP then values of m can be

Eight coins are tossed together. The probability of getting exactly 3 heads is ..........

Find the probability of getting a head when a coin is tossed once. Also find the probability of getting a tail.

If three coins are tossed simultaneously then write their outcomes. a) All possible outcomes b) Number of possible outcomes c) Find the probability of getting at least one head (getting one or more than one head) d) Find the Probability of getting at most two heads (getting Two or less than two heads) e) Find the Probability of getting no tails

Find the probability of getting almost two tails or at least two heads in a toss of three coins.

The minimum number of times a fair coin needs to be tossed, so that the probability of getting at least two heads is at least 0.96 is :

If two identical coins are tossed simultaneously. Find (a) the possible outcomes, (b) the number of total outcomes, (c) the probability of getting two heads, (d) probability of getting atleast one head, (e) probability of getting no heads and (f) probability of getting only one head.

Statement-1 If 10 coins are thrown simultaneously, then the probability of appearing exactly foour heads is equal to probability of apppearing exactly six heads. Statement-2 .^nC_r=.^nC_s implies either r=s or r+s=n and P(H)=P(T) in a single trial.
