The probability of not getting a tail on a single coin flip is , because each coin has a chance of landing heads and another chance of landing tails. Hence, the combined probability of getting heads on both coins for each toss is for 50 tosses.

Given: Using independence: \begin{align*} P(A \cap B^c \cap C^c) &= x(1-y)(1-z) = \frac{1}{4}
P(A^c \cap B \cap C^c) &= (1-x)y(1-z) = \frac{1}{8}
P(A^c \cap B^c \cap C^c) &= (1-x)(1-y)(1-z) = \frac{1}{4} \end{align*} Solving these gives:

The probability of drawing a non-defective screw in one trial is: Since there are 3 draws with replacement, the probability of drawing 3 non-defective screws is: Next, we need to calculate the probability of the event given that all the screws drawn are non-defective. This is: % Option (b) Without Replacement: When drawing without replacement, the probability changes with each draw. We use the following formula: This simplifies to: % Final Answer

We are given two events: - Event A: "Getting three heads in three tosses" - Event B: "Getting a head on the first toss" Step 1: Understand the nature of events - Event A occurs only if all three tosses result in heads. So, the probability of A occurring is (since there are 8 possible outcomes from tossing the coin three times, and only one outcome results in three heads). - Event B occurs if the first toss is a head. The probability of B occurring is (since the first toss can either be a head or a tail, and both have equal likelihood). Step 2: Determine if the events are independent Two events A and B are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the other. Mathematically, this is defined as: For this case: - is the probability that both A and B occur, i.e., the first toss is a head, and all three tosses result in heads. This is just , because if A occurs, then B automatically occurs. - Since , the events are independent. Thus, the correct answer is option (2), Independent events.

To determine the minimum number of times a fair coin needs to be tossed such that the probability of getting at least two heads is at least 0.96, we can use the concept of complementary probability. Start by calculating the probability of getting fewer than two heads and subtract that from 1.

Let n be the number of tosses. The probability of getting 0 or 1 head can be found by using the binomial probability formula:

P(X=k)=C(n,k)×p^k×(1-p)^(n-k), where p=0.5 for a fair coin.

1. Calculate the probability for 0 heads: P(X=0)=C(n,0)×0.5^0×0.5^n=0.5^n.

2. Calculate the probability for 1 head: P(X=1)=C(n,1)×0.5^1×0.5^(n-1)=n×0.5^n.

3. Sum these probabilities: P(fewer than 2 heads)=0.5^n+n×0.5^n.

4. We require that the probability for at least 2 heads satisfies: P(at least 2 heads)≥0.96.

Thus, 1-(0.5^n+n×0.5^n)≥0.96.

Solving: 0.5^n+n×0.5^n≤0.04 or (n+1)×0.5^n≤0.04.

Check values of n:

Hence, the minimum number of tosses required is 8.
