Capitolo 9, Problema 21
In Exercises 21–22, a fair coin is tossed two times in succession. The sample space of equally likely outcomes is {HH,HT,TH,TT}. Find the probability of getting two heads.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the sample space for tossing a fair coin two times. The sample space consists of all possible outcomes: \(\{HH, HT, TH, TT\}\).
Count the total number of outcomes in the sample space. Since there are two tosses and each toss has 2 possible outcomes, the total number of outcomes is 4.
Determine the favorable outcomes for the event 'getting two heads'. This means both tosses result in heads, so the favorable outcome is \(\{HH\}\).
Count the number of favorable outcomes. Here, there is only 1 favorable outcome: \(HH\).
Calculate the probability of getting two heads using the formula: \(P(\text{two heads}) = \frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4}\).

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Sample Space
The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. For tossing a fair coin twice, the sample space includes {HH, HT, TH, TT}, representing all equally likely sequences of heads (H) and tails (T). Understanding the sample space is essential for calculating probabilities.

Introduction to Probability
Probability of an Event
Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring and is calculated as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in the sample space. For example, the probability of getting two heads is the number of outcomes with two heads divided by the total outcomes.

Equally Likely Outcomes
When all outcomes in the sample space have the same chance of occurring, they are called equally likely. This assumption allows us to use simple ratios to find probabilities, such as dividing the count of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
