I am bored and don't want to do this... For this activity, you will need two different coins. First, you will determine the theoretical probability of events. Then, you will flip the coins 100 times and determine the experimental probability of the events.

Flip two different coins 100 times, and record the results of each coin toss in a table like the one below:

Result Frequency
Two heads
Two tails
One head, one tail
Answer the following questions based on the data you gathered. You must show your work to receive credit.

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?
What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?
Compare the theoretical probabilities to your experimental probabilities. Why might there be a difference?

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
