A coin is biased so that each time the coin is flipped, the probability of tails is 0.54. Find the probability of obtaining exactly 7 tails when this coin is flipped 16 times. (0.54)^7(1 - 0.54)^{16-7} (16/7)(0.54)^{16-7}(1 - 0.54)^7 None of these. (16/7)(0.54)^7(1 - 0.54)^{16-7} (16/7)(0.54)^7

A biased coin is flipped 10 times. In a single flip of the coin, the probability of heads is 1/4 and the probability of tails is 3/4. The outcomes of the coin flips are mutually independent. What is the probability of each event? (a) Every flip comes up heads. (b) The first 5 flips come up heads, and the last 5 flips come up tails. (c) The first flip comes up heads, and the rest of the flips come up tails.
