What is the probability of heads in unfair coin when you flip the coin ten times?
i came across this question and I haven't figured it out
Suppose that you flip an unfair coin ten times, where p(heads)=3/4 and p(tails)= 1/4, Find probability of
1.p(no heads)
2.p(exactly 9 heads)
3.p(exactly 7 heads)
4.p(at least 7 heads)
5.p(number of heads greater than number of tails)
i hop this help
Thanks

Have a look at the binomial distribution.
- Probability of no heads:
$$bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)^{10}$$
- Exactly one head:
$$binom{10}{9},bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^9$$
- Exactly seven heads:
$$binom{10}{7},bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)^3bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^7$$
- At least seven heads:
$$binom{10}{7},bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)^3bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^7 + binom{10}{8},bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)^2bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^8 + binom{10}{9},bigg(frac{1}{4}bigg)bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^9 + bigg(frac{3}{4}bigg)^{10}$$
- Number of heads greater than number of tails:
same idea as in the previous case but starting at 6 heads.
