In how many different ways can 5 tosses of a coin yield 2 heads and 3 tails?
I know I can just list all the possibility and it wouldn't be hard.
But I want to know how to solve this problem by using combination or permutation because it will be more complicated if the number of tosses increase.
Please help me to solve this problem with COMBINATION OR PERMUTATION.

Two coins with heads probabilities 1/3 and 1/4 are alternately tossed, starting with the 1/3 coin, until one of them turns up heads. Let ? denote the total number of tosses, including the last. Find: P(X=even) ?(?). I know the answer, but can anyone give me some explanation, not just the answer?

The question is: How many different sums of money can be made using one or more of a penny, a nickel, a dime and a quarter? My question is: I was thinking that this was a permutation problem and since I can use one or more that permutation would be P(4,4) = 24. However, that was incorrect. My second idea was that it is a combination problem because the sums have to be different. Please help

The next three questions (5 to 8) refer to the following: An unfair coin is tossed three times. For each toss, the probability that the coin comes up heads is 0.6 and the probability that the coin comes up tails is 0.4. If we let X be the number of coin tosses that come up heads, observe that the possible values of X are 0, 1, 2, and 3. Find the probability distribution of X. Hint: the problem can be...

1. How many different ways can you have r numbers 1 sum up to a number n? These are called compositions of a number n and it is easy to calculate from our understanding of binomial coefficients. So the number of compositions of 4 into 3 parts will be 1+1+2, 1+2+1, and 2+1+1. Note how we think of 1+1+2 and 1+2+1 as different-because in the first case, the first number is 1, second is 1 and third is 2, while...
