(b) What is the probability of observing at least 51 heads in 101 tosses? (Your answer should be a number. The intention of this question is not for you to repeatedly use your calculator/software to compute the answer. You can solve this question without using a calculator at all. Hint: use part (a). Try computing the answer for a smaller number of tosses and number of heads to help you see the rela- tionship. For ex, at least 6 heads in 11 tosses.)

You purchase boxes of cereal until you obtain one with the collector's toy you want. If, on average, you get the toy you want in every 62th cereal box, what is the probability of getting the toy you want in any given cereal box? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Sheila is conducting an experiment in which she is rolling a die. After rolling the die 90 times, she has collected the following data. Based on theoretical probability, she was expecting the die to land on each number 15 times. Sheila then remembered that experimental probability does not always equal theoretical probability, but it should approach it the more times an experiment is run. Sheila ran the experiment again rolling the die 180 times. For the 180 rolls of the die, she noticed that all of the frequencies were at most 20% away from what was expected based on the theoretical probability. She then combined the two data sets for a total of 270 rolls of the die. The minimum frequency that she could have obtained from any number in the combined data set is :______________ and the maximum frequency she could have obtained from any number is: _______________

Need help with question 1, 2 & 3
Part I: Probability For each of the following problems, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4,2)/24 instead of 0.375. 5. You are playing Scrabble and you draw seven tiles: M, A, T, C, H, E, S. You line them up in some random order on your tile rack (assume all orderings are equally likely). The events M, T, and S are defined as follows: M: The tiles M, A, T, H appear consecutively. T: The tile T appears exactly in the middle (fourth position). S: The tile S is either in the first position or in the final position. Calculate the probability of each event; that is, p(M), p(T), and p(S). 5.1 5.2 What is p(MIT)? 5.3 What is p(MIS)? 5.4 5.5 What is p(T|S)? Consider all pairs of events: (M,T), (M,S), and (T,S). Which pairs of events are independent and which pairs of events are not independent? Justify your answer.
A researcher is selecting lab rats for her experiment. She assigns each rat a number and picks numbers out of a hat while blindfolded. The pool of rats from which she is drawing participants is composed of the following: 23 male albino rats 21 male spotted rats 35 female albino rats 11 female spotted rats If she reaches into the hat once, what is the probability of choosing a female rat or an albino rat? Give your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.
Can you please help me understand the process of solving this question?
Please answer both questions please. I'd really appreicate it. Thank you.
Does this answer look like I calculated correctly. The question is in a certain population of women 4% have had breast CA, 20% are smokers, and 3% are smokers and have had breast CA. A woman is selected at random from the population. What is the probability that she has had breast CA or smokes or both.
please solve this practice question with a table
Thank you. I'm not sure about the result for the second question. What I'm having a hard time with is the probability that a total of 30 of the 546 crashes have occurred in the 48 time windows. My data shows that crashes occurred in 25 of these 48 time windows, with 3 in one of these and 2 in three others.
