Probability Distribution: If a fair coin is flipped three times, what is the probability of getting exactly two heads? Bayes' Theorem: In a city, 90% of people are right-handed, and 10% are left-handed. A medical test is 95% accurate for detecting a disease, and the disease occurs in 1% of the population. What is the probability that a person actually has the disease, given that they tested positive? Confidence Interval: A sample of 100 people has an average height of 170 cm, with a standard deviation of 10 cm. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the population mean height.

Bayes' Theorem:
In a city, 90% of people are right-handed, and 10% are left-handed. A medical test is 95%
accurate for detecting a disease, and the disease occurs in 1% of the population. What is the
probability that a person actually has the disease, given that they tested positive?
Confidence Interval:
A sample of 100 people has an average height of 170 cm, with a standard deviation of 10 cm.
Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the population mean height.
