... c) P(at least 1 head or at least 1 tail) = d) P(0 heads) = EQUALLY LIKELY ASSUMPTION: Let S = a sample space with n elements. We assume each simple event ei is as likely to occur as any other, then we assign the probability 1/n to each simple event P(ei) = 1/n Ex: If a single die is rolled S= 1, 2, ...

Binomial Experiments
... In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of “n” independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with probability “p” (also called a Bernoulli experiment). To conduct a binomial exper ...

... We call events, A and B, mutually exclusive if P(A and B) = 0 , in other words event A and event B cannot occur at the same time. •Hence, for two mutually exclusive events A and B, the probability that one or the other occurs is the sum of the probabilities of the two events. ...
