You have two coins for a double coin toss

You have two coins for a double coin toss.

In order to win the coin toss you have to land with 1 heads and 1 tails.

What are your chances of winning the coin toss?

Post with trips is the correct answer, no matter what.

0.5x0.5=0.25
25%
1/4

50/50, they either do or don't.

_HT
HxO
TOx

Two winning outcomes (O), two losing outcomes (x); multiply by 25, 50:50.

33%

heads/heads
heads/tails
tails/tails

I second this... Idiots

You're missing one faggot, looking at the true statistics it should look like this
Heads/heads
Heads/tails
Tails/tails
Tails/heads

So that us a 25% chance

No matter what the first coin lands on you have 50/50 chance to get the opposite on the next toss.

People are pretend retarded in these right?

you mean 50% lol

first coin doesn't matter, it will always be head or tails which is good
so the second coin has a 50% chance to be either heads or tails depending on what you need.

>reporting for b8

Welcome, newfriend. How are you finding your stay here on Sup Forums?

...

You're a special kind of retarded

These are both correct in the proper context.
If we specifically need to flip one head then one tail, it's 1/4. If the order doesn't matter, it's 1/3.

you dumb?

yepp

>In order to win the coin toss you have to land with 1 heads and 1 tails.
What?

If the coins are indistinguishable (which if you flip them at the same time, they are) then this is correct

...

>I don't know what a game is, I only rule and live by my logic and knowledge and "fun" isn't something worth anyways.

I'm pretty sure it has to be in that order.

>first coin heads
>second coin tails

Not
>any coin heads
>any coin tails

This is the correct answer

(1/2)*(1/2) == 1/4 == 25%

FUCKING IDIOTS 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
1/4 x 100 = 25%

>Everybody ignoring the fact that in a coin toss the possibilities of gettind head or tails isn't 50%

5/7

What about the 0.0000001% it lands on its side?

You roll 3 dice what is the probability that the added results is at least 10?

>falling for the reverse double b8

nigger rly?

Probibility that I would join a double coin toss is low. Also i rarely have coin so if you added that math to the average coin carrying coin tossers In my area of grasp that i ineract with. The probibility is low. But the ability to demonstrate the statisic variables in a scale good. But improbable today because im more on this site for porn than thought.

I guess but it's not really specified

OP didn't specify how the coins are tossed, so the exact probability can't be calculated.

What?

How many sides do the dice have?

Head/tail
Tail/Head
Head/head
Tail/tail

2/4 have 1 head and 1 tail.
>33%

Also I tend to cheat when I really want something. Which would beg you to define 'winning the coin toss' better and bend the math accordingly.

2 sides

HH
HT
TH
TT
50%.

So a coin?

I need the physical dimentions of my opponent. Some cultural bacground, and economic status.

15/108 or 13.888888%

Are you comfortable with your answer being in social and economic bar graphs?

>You have two coins for a double coin toss.
possible outcomes:
C1: H; C2: H
C1: H; C2: T
C1: T; C2: H
C1: T; C2: T

>In order to win the coin toss you have to land with 1 heads and 1 tails.
Probability if HT: 25%
Probability of TH: 25%
Possibility of one H, one T, in any order: 50%

Anyone that disagrees with this answer need to go take some basic math classes.

4 options
HH
TT
HT
TH
since order doesn't matter, either HT or TH wins. That's 2 out of 4
50% chance of winning

Except heads/tails is twice as likely as heads/heads or tails/tails

na man, only 2 coins are flipped. either first or second can be heads, but the other has to be tails. order doesn't matter in the stated problem

this
anyone else is retarded

i disagree with this answer ;)

That's way off just using a little common sense the minimum score is 3 and maximum is 18 so it's got to be near 40%

Order doesn't mater because it's a double coin toss, you could be throwing them at the same time

You need to go take some basic math classes.

You autistic faggots
>H/T
>T/H

>T/T
>H/H

50% chance. No wonder you queers can't graduate college.

you can't tell me what to do ;)
9+10=21 bet u didn't even kno that

I didn't tell you what to do. I told you what you need.

P(TT)+P(HH)=1/4+1/4=1/2
P(TH)+P(HT)=1-(P(HH)+P(TT))=1-1/2=1/2

you can't tell me what i need ;)

this is seriously wrong

25%

∴P(H1∪H2)=nigger

pic related makes this shit easy
in the other hand, you have 100% chance to get either heads or tails (ignoring the side) in the first flip, and a 50% chance of getting the other side in the second flip
1*0.5=0.5

This is retarded bait
This guy is responding to a retarded bait so he's probably baiting too but with a much better and more refined bait

Wrong. There is a very small chance that a coin could land in its edge.

>you can't tell me what i need ;)
You can't prevent me from saying what I want to say...? And it's true.

No, you tard. The total possibility space is:
HH
TT
HT
TH
each of which has equal probability,
=> If a specific coin needs to be heads then it is 25% as you stated, if however order doesn't matter then it is 50% NOT 33% you tard.

who are you the fucking narrator?

>this is seriously wrong
P(A)=1-P(notA)
statistics 101

say whatever you want i won't even hear you we're too far away dummy

most of this questions ignore that chance, orit's so small that could be considered ~0%

>If the order doesn't matter, it's 1/3

...

Say

1. to convey information, an opinion, a feeling or intention, or an instruction.

Spoken language is only one means of saying something.

1/2

MAN some people are fucking bored of their life, jesus christ.

You ignorant nigger

Probability says its true.
H/H
T/T
H/T or T/H

3 options. 33%

Never said it wasn't retarded, but its not wrong either.

>3 options
>writes 4
Why?

There are more than 3 options though, as h/t and t/h are two separate cases that are equally likely to happen.
Thus what you get is
HH
HT
TH
TT
meaning if it doesn't matter the order, then 50%.

50%

Flip the first coin, it doesn't matter how it lands. Now flip the second coin, it has a 0.5 chance of landing on the opposite face, giving you the required 1 head and 1 tail outcome required.

Any other answer is bait and/or wrong.

Math is hard if you're black.

If order doesn't matter its 33%
T/H and H/T aren't individual results.
If order matters, 25%

OR you're as retarded as probability and statistics are and will never understand the basic concepts. Not that they're worth understanding anyway... stupid branches of mathematics.

Home schooled?

everyone stating anything different than .5 should just learn to google (or start another ylyl thread)

Unless I'm retarded and missed one this is every possible dice combination greater than or equal to 10 where order doesn't matter. But order does matter so there are 3 cases:
All three the same: 666 555 444.
Two of the same: 665 655 443...
All three different: 654 543 532...

For the first case there is only 1 permutation for the 3 cases like 555 so you get 3*1=3
For the second case there are 3 permutations for the 18 cases like 665 656 566 so you get 18*3=54
For the third case there are 6 permuatatiobs for the 13 cases like 653 635 365 356 536 563 so you get 13*6=78

Adding 3+54+78=135 and since there are 6*6*6=216 possible outcomes the probability of getting greater than or equal to 10 is 135/216=62.5%

>T/H and H/T aren't individual results.
Except they are.

>T/H and H/T aren't individual results.
>mfw

Think of it this way:
>I have a quarter and a dime
>flip them both
>D: H; Q: T
>is not the same as
>D: T; Q: H
Each are independent results. Each coin, when flipped, has two possibilities. The results of all coins flipped to not somehow combine.

>stupid branches of mathematics
Just because you're retarded and don't understand these branches of mathematics does not make them stupid.

It's not a problem of statistics it's common sense. It doesn't matter if the order matters or not, try flipping both coins 1000 times and you'll get that 25% of the time you get T/H, 25% H/T, 25% H/H, 25% T/T

Do the math if you're skeptical, I did

>I don't understand how to use this thing
>this thing must be stupid
I hate that this is the common man now.
