You and a friend are talking about the probability of getting a heads on a single toss of a fair coin. Your friend insists that you are more likely to get a heads on a single toss of a fair coin than a tails. Is your friend correct, why or why not? If we were to toss the fair coin an infinite number of times, what would we expect?

We have four fair coins, each of which has probability 1/2 of having a heads outcome and a tails outcome. The experiment is to ip all four coins and observe the sequence of heads and tails. For example, outcome HTHH means coin 1 was heads, coin 2 was tails, coin 3 was heads, coin 4 was heads Note that there are 16 total outcomes, and we assume that each one is equally likely. What is the probability that at there...

Suppose you toss a fair coin until you’ve gotten a total of 2 heads or a total of 4 tails (neither the 2 heads nor the 4 tails occur necessarily consecutively), and then you stop. What is the probability that your last coin toss came up tails?
