Answer
[tex]P= 0.144[/tex] ways
the coin can land tails either exactly 8 times or exactly 5 times in
[tex]0.144[/tex] ways
Step by step explanation:
THis is a binomial distribution
Binomial distribution gives summary of the number of trials as well as observations as each trial has the same probability of attaining one particular value.
P(9)=(14,9).(0.5)⁹.(0.5)¹⁴⁻⁹
p(3)=(14,3).(0.5)⁹.(0.5)¹⁴⁻³
p=(9)+p(3)
p=C(14,9)(0.5)¹⁴ + C(14,3). (0.5)¹⁴
P= (0.5)¹⁴ [C(14,9) + C(14,3)]
P= (0.5)¹⁴ [2002 * 364]
P= 1/16384 * (2002 +364)
P= 91091/2048
P= 0.144
Hence,the coin can land tails either exactly 8 times or exactly 5 times in
