Question

Vicki would like to estimate the probability of tails coming up fewer than 2 times in 3 coin flips.

To do this, she has a computer randomly select 0 or 1 three times, with 0 representing heads and 1 representing tails. The results of 15 trials are shown in the table.
110 111 000 011 000
010 101 100 000 000
111 101 110 101 111

What is Vicki's estimated probability, based on this simulation?

Answer 2

0.4

Explanation:

Vicki has a computer randomly select 0 or 1 three times, with 0 representing heads and 1 representing tails. The results of 15 trials are shown in the table.

110 111 000 011 000

010 101 100 000 000

111 101 110 101 111

Vicki would like to estimate the probability of tails (1) coming up fewer than 2 times (must be 0 or 1 digit 1 in record). All such seuences are marked in bold int the above table. There are 6 such trails. Hence, Vicki's estimated probability, based on this simulation is

`(6)/(15)=(2)/(5)=0.4`
