- In a game, two coins are tossed. If either of the coins comes up heads, you have won a prize. To claim the prize, you must point to one of your coins that is a head and say 'look, that coin's a head, I've won'. You watch Fred play the game. He tosses the two coins, and he points to a coin and says 'look, that coin's a head, I've won'. What is the probability that the other coin is a head?arrow_forwardEmma and Eddie both want to choose their family's dinner entrée. Emma prefers burgers, and Eddie would like to order pizza. To determine who gets to pick, their dad suggests rolling a pair of fair dice. If the sum of the dice is 4 or 10, then Emma will pick dinner. If the sum is 2, 3, 11, or 12, then Eddie will pick dinner. They will roll the dice again if any other number is rolled. Is this a fair way to decide? Explain.(Hint: There are 21 total possibilities when rolling a pair of dice.) a No, it is not fair because there is a higher probability of rolling 2, 3, 11, or 12, so Eddie will most likely choose dinner. b Yes, it is fair because both Emma and Eddie have an equal probability of choosing dinner. c No, it is not fair because there is a higher probability of rolling 4 or 10, so Emma will most likely choose dinner. d No, it is not fair because there is a greater probability that they will roll a number other than 4, 10, 2, 3, 11, or 12.arrow_forwardPlayer pays a fee, then reaches into a large jar and picks out a ball.
