If required tosse
s is odd the possible sequence of heads and tails will be:
H, TTH, TTTTH, TTTTTT H, ...............
Since, these events are mutually exclusive, we can add the prob. of each event.
Thus, the required prob. is given by
P=1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2+…………………..
This is a geometric series with a=1/2,r=1/4
1/2
P=1−1/4 =2/3

4. Total number of cause = 36


Total number of favorable causes = 5+ 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Then probability= 15/36=5/12

5.4C4 (1/2)4 + 4C3 (1/2)3(1/2)


6. Number of elements in sample space is 210, only one element {H,H,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T} is event. thus
probability is 1/210
