You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lets look at the \"human\" way of doing this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All possible combinations are:
\n" ); document.write( "H1
\n" ); document.write( "H2
\n" ); document.write( "H3
\n" ); document.write( "H4
\n" ); document.write( "H5
\n" ); document.write( "H6
\n" ); document.write( "T1
\n" ); document.write( "T2
\n" ); document.write( "T3
\n" ); document.write( "T4
\n" ); document.write( "T5
\n" ); document.write( "T6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--> 12 possible outcomes and you want the probability of H4, which is 1 of these...so P(H4) = 1/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mathematically,
\n" ); document.write( "P(H and 4) = P(H) AND P(4) --> AND meaning multiplication
\n" ); document.write( "P(H and 4) = 1/2 x 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "P(H and 4) = 1/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "jon.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
