Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 15.9, Problem 1.3E
To determine

To find: The score of two heads more than half the time or less than half the time in the given condition.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1.3E

The explanation is given below.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given condition is as given:

The experiment repeats many times of tossing four coins.

The possible outcome of four coins tossed for one time are given as:

  {HHHH,HHHT,HHTH,HHTT,HTHH,HTHT,HTTH,HTTT,THHH,THHT,THTH,THTT,TTHH,TTHT,TTTH,TTTT}

Here the expected numbers of heads are 2 and we can see here we score six times two heads.

However the large number of times if we repeat the experiment, we will get the same possible outcomes and most probability the expected numbers of heads will also be 2 .

So It can be concluded that less than twelve times of repeating the experiment we will score two heads more than half the time and more than twelve times of repeating the experiment we will score two heads less than half the time.
