What probability should be assigned to the outcome of heads when a biased coin is tossed, if heads is three times as likely to come up as tails? what probability should be assigned to the outcome of tails?

The probability of tail occurs =   = 0.25

and

The probability of heads occurs = = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let P be the tail as outcome in a toss.

Heads is three times as likely to come up as tails.

So, Probability of getting heads = 3P

The total probability is 1

So, P + 3P = 1

4P = 1

P = = 0.25

We denoted P as the probability of getting tail in a toss.

So probability of getting heads = 1 -   =  

Therefore, the probability of tail occurs =   = 0.25

and

The probability of heads occurs = = 0.75

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
