Question

Find the probability of tossing 5 tails, them 5 heads. on the first 10 tosses of a fair coin

Answer 1

When a coin is tossed, the probability iof getting a head or a tail is 1/2.

The probability of tossing 5 tails = (1/2)^5

The probability of tossing 5 heads = (1/2)^5

The probability of tossing 5 talis and 5 heads = (1/2)^5 X (1/2)^5

= (1/2)^10
