Chapter 11, Problem 5QC

To determine

To find: The probability for the given data.

Answer to Problem 5QC

Theprobability of getting $P\left(\text{odd},\text{tails}\right)$ is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given probability for the coins tossed is $P\left(\text{odd},\text{tails}\right)$

Calculation:

Consider the coin is tossed 3 times. Then the number of times the head can appear is 3 and tail can appear is 3 times.

Consider the odd number of tails is 1 and 3 that is 4 in total.

The total number of outcomes are 6 and the probability of $P\left(\text{odd},\text{tails}\right)$ is,

  $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
