Question

Two coins are tossed simultaneously 500 times, and we get

Two heads : 105 times
One head : 275 times
No head : 120 times
Find the probability of occurrence of each of these events.

Answer 1

a) 21:100

b) 11:20

c) 6:25

Explanation:

Answer 2

The probability of 2 heads:
105:500

This can be simplified further. If you divide them both by 5, you get:

21:100

That is the answer, as it cannot be simplified any further.

The probability of one head:
275:500

This can be simplified further. If you divide them both by 25, you get:

11:20

That is the answer, as it cannot be simplified any further.

The probability of no heads:
120:500

This can be simplified further. If you divide them both by 20 you get:

6:25

That is the answer, as it cannot be simplified any further.

So:
a) 21:100
b) 11:20
c) 6:25
