consider the experiment of tossing a fair coin 7 times. find the probability of getting a prime number of heads given that heads occurs on at least 6 of the tosses

Respuesta :

The probability of getting a prime number of heads given that heads occurs on at least 6 of the tosses is 0.0078

The number of observations n is 7

Here the success is heads

The probability of heads is 1/2

We need to find the the probability of getting a prime number of heads.

Heads occurs on at least 6 of the tosses

prime number greater than equal to 6 and less than equal to 7 is 7

So, X = 7

P(X = 7) = 7C7(1/2)⁷(1/2)⁰

P(X = 7) =  1 x (1/2)⁷ x

P(X =7 ) = 1/128

= 0.0078

Therefore, the probability of getting a prime number of heads given that heads occurs on at least 6 of the tosses is 0.0078
