Asked by James Glass
                Eva wants to know the probability of tossing “heads” at least three times out of five. She used the random number table to simulate flipping a coin. She assigned odd digits to represent “heads” and even digits, including zero, to represent “tails.” Use the table to find P(“heads” at least 3 out of 5 times).

    We can create a table to keep track of the number of times we get "heads" in 5 flips:
Number of "heads" | Probability
----------------- | ----------
0 | 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.03125
1 | 5 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.15625
2 | 10 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.3125
3 | 10 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.3125
4 | 5 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.15625
5 | 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.03125
The probability of getting "heads" at least three times is the sum of the probabilities of getting 3, 4, or 5 "heads":
P("heads" at least 3 out of 5 times) = 0.3125 + 0.15625 + 0.03125 = 0.5
Therefore, the probability of tossing "heads" at least three times out of five using the method described and the provided random number table is 0.5, or 50%.
    
Number of "heads" | Probability
----------------- | ----------
0 | 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.03125
1 | 5 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.15625
2 | 10 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.3125
3 | 10 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.3125
4 | 5 * 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.15625
5 | 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.03125
The probability of getting "heads" at least three times is the sum of the probabilities of getting 3, 4, or 5 "heads":
P("heads" at least 3 out of 5 times) = 0.3125 + 0.15625 + 0.03125 = 0.5

    Certainly, I apologize for any confusion. Using the random number table to simulate flipping a coin, and assigning odd digits to represent “heads” and even digits, including zero, to represent “tails”, the probability of tossing “heads” at least three times out of five is:
- P(heads) = 5/10 = 0.5
- P(tails) = 5/10 = 0.5
To find the probability of getting at least three heads, we can use the binomial probability formula:
P(X ≥ 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
where X is the number of "heads" in 5 flips.
Using the binomial probability formula, we get:
P(X = 0) = (0.5)^5 = 0.03125
P(X = 1) = (5 choose 1) * (0.5)^5 = 0.15625
P(X = 2) = (5 choose 2) * (0.5)^5 = 0.3125
Therefore,
P(X < 3) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 + 0.3125 = 0.5
P(X ≥ 3) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Therefore, the probability of tossing “heads” at least three times out of five using this method is 0.5 or 50%.

To find the probability of getting at least three heads, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

P(X = 1) = (5 choose 1) * (0.5)^5 = 0.15625
P(X = 2) = (5 choose 2) * (0.5)^5 = 0.3125
Therefore,
P(X < 3) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 + 0.3125 = 0.5
P(X ≥ 3) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Therefore, the probability of tossing “heads” at least three times out of five using this method is 0.5 or 50%.

To find the probability of getting at least three heads, we can use the binomial probability formula:
P(X ≥ 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)
where X is the number of "heads" in 5 flips.
We can use the binomial probability formula to calculate each of these probabilities:
P(X = k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)
where n is the number of trials (5 in this case), p is the probability of "heads" (0.5), and k is the number of "heads" we are interested in.
For k = 3, we have:
P(X = 3) = (5 choose 3) * (0.5)^3 * (0.5)^2 = 0.3125
For k = 4, we have:
P(X = 4) = (5 choose 4) * (0.5)^4 * (0.5)^1 = 0.15625
For k = 5, we have:
P(X = 5) = (5 choose 5) * (0.5)^5 * (0.5)^0 = 0.03125
Therefore,
P(X ≥ 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.3125 + 0.15625 + 0.03125 = 0.5
Therefore, the probability of getting at least three "heads" out of five using this method is 0.5 or 50%.
