You have two coins of which one is balanced and the other one is unbalanced such that heads come up with a probability of 2/3. First, you choose one of these two coins at random. Then you toss the coin twice. Find the probability that the first toss is a head and the second toss is a tail.

Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
