A recent poll has suggested that 64 % of Canadians will be spending money - decorations, halloween treats, etc. - to celebrate Halloween this year.22 Canadians are randomly chosen, and the number that will be spending money to celebrate Halloween is to be counted. This count is represented by the random variable X.Part (d) Compute the probability that the 13-th Canadian random chosen is the 9-th to say they will be spending money to celebrate Halloween.___________(use four decimals in your answer)

Flip two fair coins. Then the sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT} where T = tails and H = heads. The outcomes HT and TH are different and the HT means that the first coin showed heads and the second coin showed tails. The TH means that the first coin showed tails and the second coin showed heads. Let A = the event of getting at least one tail while letting B = the event of getting all tails. What is the probability of event A ∩ B? a. 0.66 b. 0.50 c. 0.25 d. 0.75

5 coins are put in a bag. 3 of the coins are weighted with the probability of flipping heads being three times as great than the probability of flipping tails; the remaining coins are fair. One of these coins is selected at random and then flipped once. What is the probability that a weighted coin was selected given that heads was flipped? Write the answer as a fraction.
