A fair coin is tossed three times. What is the probability that exactly two heads occur, given that a. the first outcome was a tail b. the first two outcomes were heads c. the first two outcomes were tails

a) So 25% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first outcome was a tail.

b) 50% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first two outcomes were heads.

c) 0% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first two outcomes were tails.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

We have the following sample space, that is, the possible outcomes:

In which h is heads and t is tails

h - h - h

h - h - t

h - t - h

h - t - t

t - h - h

t - h - t

t - t - h

t - t - t

What is the probability that exactly two heads occur, given that

a. the first outcome was a tail

Four outcomes in which the first outcome was a tail. They are:

t - h - h

t - h - t

t - t - h

t - t - t

In only 1 one them, exactly two heads occur.

1/4 = 0.25

So 25% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first outcome was a tail.

b. the first two outcomes were heads

Two possibilities in which the first two outcomes were heads.

h - h - h

h - h - t

In 1 of them, we have exactly two heads.

1/2 = 0.5

So 50% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first two outcomes were heads.

c. the first two outcomes were tails

Two possibilities in which the first two outcomes were tails.

t - t - h

t - t - t

In none of them we have exactly 2 heads.

0% probability that exactly two heads occur, given that the first two outcomes were tails.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
