17. There are eight students in MATH 5351. Suppose each of the eight flips a fair coin ten times and counts the number of heads. Your professor then takes the number of heads flipped by each student and then puts these eight numbers in an ordered list. What is the probability that the least number on the list is 0 ? is 1 ? etc.

Step 1
Each of the eight students flips a fair coin ten times and counts the number of heads. We need to find the probability that the least number of heads in the ordered list of these counts is 0, 1, etc. Show more…

If you toss a coin 20 times and either get a head or a tail with equal probability (1/2 & 1/2) of getting either outcome. Compute the probability of getting exactly 8 heads out of the 20 tosses. ( Keep answer in decimal form and round tot he nearest 2 decimals, ex: 0.45) *Hint: Identify the distribution and use corresponding formulas from notes.

Suppose a fair coin is tossed 20 times. What is the probability of observing more than 15 heads? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. Suppose only 1 in every 5 students is accepted to a prestigious college. Suppose 10 graduates from ECC apply. What is the probability that more than 2 will be accepted? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
