Question 1031214: Please find the solution for this question:
*Shabeen has a biased coin. the probability that the coin will land on heads is 0.6.
Shabeen is going to throw the coin 3 TIMES.
She says the probability that the coin will land on tails 3 times is less than 0.1
Is Shabeen correct? You must show all your working. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(tails)=0.4
P(tails 3 times in a row)=0.4^3, since independent trials.
P=0.064, so it is less than 0.1
