Answer to Problem 32E
All possible sequences of outcomes
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The sample space of a fair coin is
Concept used:
Sample space:-In probability theory the sample space of an experiment or random trial is the set of all possible outcomes or result of that experiment
Calculation:
A sample space is usually denoted using set notation and the possible ordered outcomes are listed as element in the set
The sample space of a sequence of five fair cions flips is all possible sequences of outcomes
That is
The sample of a fair coin flip is
The probability that the result of the next flip will be tails is always
It does not matter if past results were
The probability that the next will be tails is still
Hence the option (a) is correct
