What is the probability of obtaining eleven heads in a row when flipping a coin? interpret this probability?
Accepted Solution
A:
each flipping is independent, and the probability of getting a head per flipping is 1/2, so the probability of getting 11 heads in a row is (1/2)^11=1/2048.
Interpret (not sure what your instructor wants, but this is how I would interpret it): when a coin is flipped 11 times, there are 2048 outcomes, only one of the outcomes is 11 heads in a row.
