Concept explainers
A coin flip determines who gets the ball first at the beginning of a football game, with the visiting team calling heads or tails. The captain of one particular team always calls heads. In the first four games as visitor of a season, find the probability that his team
(a) Wins the toss three times.
(b) Loses the toss all four times.
(c) Wins the toss more than once.
(d) Loses the toss no more than twice.
(e) Loses the toss at least once.
