(a) What is the probability that all three tosses are heads?
(b) What is the probability that the second toss is Head when the first toss turns out as Head?
Solution:
Let Xi, i=1, 2,3, denote the outcome of the i-th coin toss, then:
So the probability of three heads is 1/4.
So the probability of second toss being H when the first one turns out as H is 2/3.
