Algebra.Com's Answer #383409 by sunsetatdawn(4)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you are using a probability table to answer this, you have to calculate, n, x, and p. Where n is the number of trials, x is how many you want to get, and p is the probability of success. If looking for failure, you would need q with is 1-p, but as we aren't doing failure, will skip that for now. In this case, n=10 as we toss the coin 10 times. x = 6 as we want 6 heads, p = .5 as we have a .5 chance each trial to get a head. Then, using these you would use the table to find the probability of .205. \n" ); document.write( " |
