'Consider a bias coin game with 70% of getting head_ The game ends once someone flips ` head. Determine the suitable probability distribution and find the probability that the game ends on the Sth flip. In other words, the Sth flip is the first head found.'

Consider a fair coin. Find the probability that the sixth flip is the first head.
Shaiju T.
A biased coin is tossed repeatedly. The probability of getting a head in any particular toss is 0.3. Assuming that the tosses are independent, find the probability that the 3rd head appears exactly at the 10th toss.

'A coin is biased so that; on each toss, the probability of obtaining a head is 0.4_ The coin is tossed twice. Calculate the probability that at least one head is obtained: Calculate the conditional probability that exactly one head is obtained given that at least one is obtained.'
