A bag contains 2n + 1 coins. It is known that n of these coins have a head on both sides, whereas the remaining (n + 1) coins are fair. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(a) 10As (n + 1) coins are fair P (Tossing a tail) = \(rac{rac{n+1}{2}}{2n+1}\) = \(rac{n+1}{2(2n+1)}\)∴ P (Tossing a head) = 1 - \(rac{n+1}{2(2n+1)}\) = \(rac{4n+2-n-1}{2(2n+1)}\) = \(rac{3n+1}{4n+2}\)Given, \(rac{3n+1}{4n+2}\) = \(rac{31}{42}\)⇒ 126n + 42 = 124n + 62 ⇒ 2n = 20 ⇒ n = 10.

Description : Let a pair of fair coins be tossed. Here S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}. Consider the events A = {heads on the first coin} = {HH, HT}, -Maths 9th

Last Answer : ThenP (A) = P (B) = P (C) = \(rac{2}{4}\) = \(rac{1}{2}\) andP (A ∩ B) = P ({HH}) = \(rac{1}{4}\), P (A ∩ C) = P ({HT}) = \(rac{1}{4}\)P ( ...
