Question 635787: An unfair coin comes up heads 52.7% of the time. The coin is flipped a total of 19 times.
A) what is the probability you get exactly 12 heads?
(19C12)(.527)^12(.473)7= .1335 (not sure if correct)
B) What is the probability that you get exactly 11 tails?
(19C11)(.473)^11(.527)^8= .1338 (again not sure)
C) What is the probability that you get at most 16 tails?
Any help would be great. thank you so much

Hi,
An unfair coin comes up heads 52.7% of the time. The coin is flipped a total of 19 times.
A) what is the probability you get exactly 12 heads?
(19C12)(.527)^12(.473)7= .1335 (not sure if correct)
B) What is the probability that you get exactly 11 tails?
(19C11)(.473)^11(.527)^8= .1338 (again not sure)
C) What is the probability that you get at most 16 tails?
P = 1 -P(17T) - P(18T) - P(19T) = .9998
